| development and production of rail pads, baseplate pads, undersleeper pads and ballast | |
| mats for the reduction of vibration in rail track. Tiflex Limited has specialised since | |
| 1946 in the manufacture of resilient track support materials and other components which | |
| are designed to reduce ground borne vibration from rail track. We have test apparatus | |
| specially designed and dedicated to the examination of polymers for use in the rail track. | |
| We can examine in detail the response of rail pads to wheel flat impacts. Baseplate pads | |
| and Undersleeper pads are tested at large amplitude and high frequencies (typical of the | |
| track situation) so that the vibration insertion loss can be determined accurately.</font><font size="3"></p> | |
| <font FACE="Arial" SIZE="1"><b><p></b></font><font face="Arial">Tiflex Limited have some | |
| of the most advanced elastomer testing equipment available anywhere in the world, and our | |
| research is dedicated to finding the most cost-effective solutions for our railway | |
| partners and providing them with the best possible advice, designs and materials.</p> | |
| <p>The quality of our products and dedication to customer service are fundamental | |
| requirements throughout the Tiflex organisation. Tiflex anti-vibration products are | |
| manufactured from the highest quality raw materials with strict quality control at every | |
| stage. </p> | |
| <p>The Tiflex quality management system is assessed regularly and is approved to BS EN ISO | |
| 9002. Tiflex is also an authorised and approved supplier to many key railway organisations | |

| used on high speed track where the reduction of impact forces is most important. | |
| Trackelast FC584 is also frequently specified for use on tramwav and mainline | |
| applications.</p> | |

| established. </font></p> | |
| </font><font FACE="Arial" SIZE="3"><p>Tiflex undersleeper pads are more effective than | |
| baseplated track at reducing vibration because there are no fixed anchoring points In | |
| addition, the rigidity of the sleeper assembly allows greater track deflections without | |
| compromising track stability. Tiflex undersleeper pads typically provide up to 12dB | |
| reduction in vibration transmission at the 63Hz band. Many thousands of these pads are now | |
| in use either on new projects or have been retro-fitted in locations throughout the world.</p> | |
