FLO COMPONENTS RAIL SOLUTIONS NOW INCLUDE SPILLTRATION® HUSKY POLYBACK RAILROAD TRACK MATS FROM HALENHARDY

The scope of our Rail Solutions has increased by FLO Components Ltd. obtaining access to the HalenHardy line of Spiltration® Husky Polyback Railroad Track Mats.

 

Traditional polypropylene-based railroad absorbent track mats have the inherent problem of not being designed for prolonged outdoor use – UV light causes the bonds holding the polypropylene polymers to break and weaken in the sunlight. Combined with their thin construction, these mats tend to tear easily. They have little absorbent capacity and saturate quickly. The rain then “lifts” petroleum from these saturated mats & carries it into the surrounding ballast.

 

Spilltration® Husky fibers are more complex, using more intricate properties between the two binding groups, making overall UV resistance much greater compared to polypropylene. Combined with a much thicker construction and polyethylene backing, the Spilltration® mats are more durable, more absorbant, safer for the environment and reduce remediation once the mat is finally replaced. The fibers are made from 100% post-consumer waste, making it the most sustainable track mat on the market.
