ARNITEL® TPEE BRINGS PERFORMANCE CONSISTENCY AND LONG SERVICE LIFE TO DUREL RAILWAY SPRINGS

Durel® springs consist of tori of Arnitel® TPEE separated by steel disks and centered on a guiding rod. Joint development between Durel GmbH and DSM Engineering Plastics has resulted in a range of railway side buffer springs, draft gears and, in more demanding safety applications, crash buffers capable of absorbing large amounts of energy. The designs combine metal with Arnitel® thermoplastic polyether elastomer (TPEE). Acting as a spring, Arnitel TPEE absorbs and releases energy in predictable ways over a long service life, helping trains to start, accelerate, decelerate and stop smoothly. Unlike metal springs, Arnitel TPEE does not rust, deteriorate, fracture or lose its springiness. In contrast to rubber, Arnitel TPEE does not lose its ability to act as a spring over time -- the DSM material has a field life of at least 20 years versus 5-10 for rubber.
