NOISE REDUCING RAILKO NF22 BRAKE BUSHES


TENMAT RAILKO are manufacturing and supplying non-metallic reinforced composite bushes
which have been proven to significantly reduce the noise produced from train wagon braking systems.

TENMAT’s RAILKO NF22 reinforced composite bushes are proven to lower noise by 13 dB (A) compared to steel bushes and contribute to comply with the European Union’s stringent technical specifications for interoperability (TSIs) regarding noise reduction.

Replacing traditional steel brake bushes with Railko NF22 reinforced composite bushes has provided its end users with the following benefits:


  • Significant reduction in noise
  • Longer service life
  • Protection to pins and the housings
  • Corrosion free
  • Safety and peace of mind
  • Time saving installation


RAILKO NF22 brake bushes are approved and supplied to major European railways in freight and passenger railway including Y-series freight, tram, metro and mainline bogies.

Energy Conservation

TENMAT INCREASE THE LIFE OF LED DOWNLIGHTS

Temperature fluctuations dramatically reduce the life span of LED downlights. LED downlights which penetrate into the loft spaces of houses are exposed to significant changes in operating temperatures in winter and summer. The LED industry has been trying to develop solutions for this situation for a number of years including large heat sinks and even fan cooling of downlights.

Work at the Lighting Industry Association has shown that fitting a TENMAT Loft Cover to LED downlights gives total temperature stability even when the loft temperature reaches 55 deg C. The reason for this stability is that the TENMAT Loft Cover creates a thermal barrier between the loft and the downlight. The breathable nature of the material allows any heat generated to pass into the loft thus keeping operating temperatures low.

The LED lighting specialists Ansell Lighting now offer the TENMAT product under the name “Ansell Equalizer LED Downlight Cover”.

Passive Fire Protection

TENMAT REVOLUTIONISE FIRE PROTECTION OF TIMBER FRAME BUILDINGS WITH NEW CAVITY FIRE BARRIER ON A ROLL

Until recently, the only way to fire protect and ventilate wall cavities in timber framed buildings was to use a “full fire sock” and then ventilate the sealed cavity (created by the fire sock) with weep holes and cavity trays.

Traditional method using Cavity Socks, Cavity Trays and Weep Holes
The combination of full cavity socks, weep holes and cavity trays is both expensive and difficult to get exactly right on-site, therefore there are many failures due to poor water dispersion and lack of ventilation as well as poor fire protection.

The TENMAT solution is to replace all of the old components with a single, easy to fit product.
The TENMAT Cavity Fire Barrier on a Roll, allows the wall cavity to remain open and so water dispersion and ventilation is optimised, in the event of a fire the cavity barrier seals the wall cavity, including and building irregularities for a perfect fire seal.

SIMPLE, COST EFFECTIVE, RELIABLE.


TENMAT are already supplying a number of major timber frame companies.
