Some of the main benefits of our pads are:
- Pads can be created for any custom design. Tailor made to meet project requirements.
- Excellent electrical resistance – stray current in freight or transit is a common occurrence and can effect the lifespan of a tie
- Superior non-weathering capabilities – we use superior materials to manufacture our pads which allows them to withstand many weather conditions
- Excellent abrasion resistance – prevents metal and concrete tie materials from rubbing together creating an abrasive and destructive problem
- Excellent compression set – We meet and/or exceed all compression sets based off of standards or customer requirements
