Fibre-reinforced foam urethane (FFU) sleepers for switches, crossings, and special trackwork applications. FFU combines the machinability of timber with the durability of synthetic materials, enabling complex geometries for turnouts and S&C layouts that recycled plastic sleepers cannot achieve.
Glass fibre-reinforced polyurethane foam (FFU)
Approximately 700–750 kg/m³
Comparable to high-grade tropical hardwood
Less than 1% by weight
-40°C to +60°C continuous
All standard screw-spike and clip systems
