What is composite sleeper
Composite sleeper, also known as synthetic sleeper, is a type of railway sleeper made from continuous glass fiber-reinforced polyurethane foam material. It combines the characteristics of glass fiber-reinforced plastic composite and foam materials, offering advantages such as high strength, light weight, insulation, chemical resistance, and similarity to wood properties. Widely used in high-speed railways and subways, especially in situations where the use of concrete sleepers is limited.
Advantages of GNEE Composite Sleepers
● Strong support
Composite sleepers provide strong support, ensuring stability for railway tracks.
● Lightweight Design
Being lightweight makes handling, transportation, and installation more convenient.
● Insulation Properties
The material's insulation capabilities enhance safety by reducing electrical conductivity.
● Chemical Resistance
Composite sleepers resist chemicals, ensuring durability in various environmental conditions.
● Wood-Like Properties
Similar to wood, they allow for easy nailing and riveting during installation.
● Low Maintenance
Their durable nature translates to lower maintenance needs compared to traditional materials.
