Next-Generation Track Materials for Rail Systems

As railways around the world push for higher durability, reduced noise, and lower environmental impact, one key component quietly plays a central role: the rail pad.

Advanced resilient solutions engineered to control vibration, reduce rolling noise and enhance long-term track performance across heavy rail, metro and light rail networks.

Railcork product portfolio is designed for use as rail pads and baseplate pads, available in a wide variety of thicknesses - providing different degrees of impact attenuation, for light and heavy rail applications, in slab and ballast track, used as well in special track works such as turnouts, crossings and crossovers…

Amorim Rail Under Ballast Mats are tested according to EN 17282:2020 and DIN 45673-5:2010, demonstrating compliance with internationally recognised performance requirements for resilient elements in ballasted track systems.

Amorim Cork Solutions’ expertise extends far beyond track-level applications. Their high-performance cork composite materials are used throughout rail vehicles to enhance side walls and ceilings, doors and internal partitions, flooring and trims and interior accessories. These solutions provide excellent impact resista…

Resilient components such as rail pads, baseplate pads, under ballast mats, floating slab mats and precast slab mats play a key role in optimizing load distribution, controlling track stiffness and reducing the transmission of noise and vibration throughout the infrastructure. Modern railway materials are expected to w…

Rail pads are elastic components installed between the rail and the sleeper, designed to transfer loads while filtering high-frequency forces and reducing stress on track structure. They help reduce vibration and structure-borne noise, protect concrete sleepers against crack development and enhance the long-term durabi…
