Partition Panels

Partition panels are interior dividers that create separate spaces within train cars (e.g. restroom cubicles, staff areas or smoker/nonsmoker compartments). Built from the same FRP or honeycomb sandwich materials as wall panels, partitions are lightweight yet stiff. They often include integrated doors or windows. Finish options match adjacent surfaces to ensure a cohesive cabin design. Partitions meet high fire protection requirements and can include insulation for noise reduction, ensuring privacy and safety onboard.

Key Features

  • Modular Panel System: FRP or honeycomb composite panels (~5–10 mm thick) that interlock or bolt together.
  • Fire-Rated Materials: Non-metallic panels comply with railway fire regulations (e.g. TB/T 3138, DIN 5510-2).
  • Durable Surface: Smooth, low-porosity finish resists impact, moisture and graffiti.
  • Customization: Panels can be curved, slotted or cut for integrated doors, windows, grab rails, and signage.
  • Lightweight & Insulating: Approximately 5 mm FRP panels weigh <10 kg/m² and provide thermal/acoustic insulation.

Benefits

  • Space Optimization: Efficiently creates private or staff-only zones without adding heavy structure.
  • Enhanced Privacy and Safety: Separate facilities (e.g. toilets, equipment rooms) with proper fire containment.
  • Quick Reconfiguration: Panels can be added or re-arranged for different service requirements (e.g. barrier-free layouts).
  • Low Fuel Impact: Minimal added weight keeps energy usage low compared to traditional dividers.
  • Clean & Safe: Non-porous finishes are hygienic and easy to maintain.

Applications

  • Restroom or Utility Cubicles: Surrounding toilets, janitor closets or staff compartments.
  • Smoking/Non-Smoking Areas: If required by local regulations.
  • First-Class/Coach Dividers: Separating first-class saloons from economy sections.
  • Driver/Guard Partitions: Isolating cab or control sections from passenger space.

Technical Specifications

  • Panel Thickness: Typically 5–15 mm (composite sandwich or FRP sheet).
  • Core & Skin: FRP (GFRP) laminate or aluminum-honeycomb core.
  • Fire Safety: Materials certified to railway fire standards (TB/T 3138, EN 45545 HL2/HL3).
  • Finish: HPL or gel-coat coatings; color matched to interior theme.
  • Mounting: Usually floor-ceiling rails or ceiling-hung tracks for stability.

Unique Selling Points (USPs)

  • Versatile Design: Fully bespoke shapes (straight or curved) to fit any interior layout.
  • Weight Efficiency: Saves weight over steel stud walls; panels contribute to higher payload.
  • Rapid Installation/Removal: Prefabricated segments allow fast refits during refurbishments.
  • Acoustic Comfort: Optional insulation layers reduce noise transfer between compartments.
