Plastic sleepers have been successfully used in Europe for more than 20 years. They are found on transportation routes such as Milan in Italy, Zurich in Switzerland and Hanover in Germany. Recycled plastic sleepers are not only used in the laying of trains and railways, but also in large-scale shipbuilding, land, sea, and air logistics, warehouses, automobile manufacturing, aircraft manufacturing, chemical, gardening, mining, construction, and other fields.
The main material of plastic sleepers provided by AGICO RAILWAY is UHMWPE, Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene. Its molecular weight is between 3 million and 7 million g/mol. UHMWPE material is an environmentally friendly engineering plastic with lightweight, good toughness, corrosion resistance, no delamination, no fracture, no adsorption of foreign matter, and anti-aging.
| UHMWPE Technological Parameter | |
|---|---|
| Density: | 0.92-0.96 g/cm3 |
| Tensile Strength at Yield: | 15-20 Mpa |
| Notched Impact Strength: | 80-170 kj/m2 |
| Impact Intensity: | 100-160 kg/m3 |
| Abrasion Resistance (sand slurry test): | 70-120% |
| Wearing Coefficient: | 0.15 |
| Shore Hardness D: | 63-68o |
Related studies have found that the lateral sliding energy of plastic sleepers is better than that of wooden sleepers. The production process of plastic railway sleepers can make its surface "hairy" so that it is not easy to slide after being installed on the subgrade. Plastic sleeper can be made longer according to the requirements of track turning and crossing, but it is very difficult to obtain high-quality wood with a length of 24 feet.
Another attractive advantage of plastic sleeper is that they are easy to install and can directly use the same equipment and fasteners as wooden sleepers.
During the installation of plastic sleepers, ordinary woodworking tools can be used for sawing, planing, nailing, screwing, gluing and other operations. In addition, plastic sleeper and wooden sleeper can be mixed and used at intervals.
