Certified Safety on the Rails: RAIL Sealing Elements and Fire Protection Kits

With the introduction of the RAIL sealing elements and fire protection kits, CONTA-CLIP now offers a standards-compliant complete solution designed to meet the highest safety requirements for trains and rail vehicles.

The Core Component: RAIL Sealing Elements (HL3)

Our new sealing elements (KDS-DE-RAIL and KDS-DEG-RAIL) are made from a special TPE material certified according to DIN EN 45545-2 for the highest hazard level, HL3. This highly flame-retardant material accommodates a wide range of cable diameters and ensures maximum safety in the event of fire.

At the same time, our KDS system continues to build on proven mechanical reliability. Our products have already been successfully tested in accordance with DIN EN 61373 for shock and vibration resistance and easily withstand the demanding continuous stresses encountered in railway vehicles.

Fire Protection Kits: Reliable Fire Barriers (E30)

Critical transition points in trains often require more than highly flame-retardant materials; they demand a genuine structural fire barrier. With our new fire protection kits, customers can achieve E30 fire resistance classification (30 minutes) in accordance with DIN EN 45545-3.

 
 

With these ready-to-install packages, KDS and KDSI frames can be upgraded for structural fire protection in no time. Each kit consists of a custom-designed IFPS fire protection mat (Intumescent Fire Penetration Seal) based on expandable graphite, along with the corresponding mounting hardware, including heat-resistant screws. In the event of a fire, the mat expands significantly at temperatures above approximately 200°C, hermetically sealing the cable penetration and any cable jackets that may melt.

Benefits of the KDS-RAIL Fire Protection Kits

  • Certified fire barrier: Complies with E30 requirements in accordance with DIN EN 45545-3.
  • Only one kit per frame size: Each kit (IFPS mat and mounting hardware) is designed to fit both KDS and KDSI frames of the corresponding size.
  • Reliable sealing: The expanding graphite mat safely seals cavities and openings when exposed to fire.
  • Secure retention under extreme conditions: Special fire protection screws keep the system firmly in place even under high expansion pressure.
  • High sealing performance and stability: Full retention of IP66 protection and strain relief during normal operation.
  • Seamless integration: 100% compatible with the well-known, tool-free KDS modular system.
