All aboard for the best rail car fiberglass on the market.
Our Rail Car fiberglass blanket is produced using textile-type glass fibers that have been chopped to a length of two to six inches and bonded with a thermal setting phenolic resin. The glass fibers and resin are combined in a unique air lay system that produces a random fiber orientation for exceptional strength, resiliency, and both thermal and acoustic performance.
Rail car fiberglass blanket info and advantages
