FC5 | More Info | 66 | 0.80 | 2550 (0.128 - 1.128 MPa) 4.8mm sample thickness |
4570 (0.128 - 1.128 MPa) 4.8mm sample thickness |
Used with wooden sleepers and is formulated to resist attack by timber preservations. It prevents chafing and indenting of wooden sleepers by baseplates and rail chairs. Can be used in strip form for bridge bearers and continuous rail support on concrete plinths. |

1750 (0.128 - 1.128 MPa, 2Hz) 10mm sample thickness |
FC10 is used as a baseplate pad between baseplates and steel, concrete or timber sleepers where moderate oil or grease contamination is present, and also (subject to load capacity) in bridge bearing applications. |
FC16 | More Info | 70 | 1.15 | 6400 (0.1 - 1.1 MPa) 4.8mm sample thickness |
N/A | FC16 is used primarily for supporting ceramic insulators on third rail and other areas where a high degree of electrical insulation is required. It is also used as a baseplate pad with steel or concrete sleepers. |
FC846 | More Info | 85 | 1.18 | 16000 (1.0 - 4.2 MPa) 10mm sample thickness |
38000 (1.0 - 4.2 MPa, 5Hz) 10mm sample thickness |
Used as a rail seat pad, for use between flat-bottomed rails and malleable iron or steel baseplates. FC846 is particularly suitable for areas of high wear and tear, for example on switches, crossings and tight radius curves. |
FC897 | More Info | 96 | 1.23 | N/A | N/A | Used for shimming and mounting applications, especially under baseplates, FC897 offers a useful alternative to steel shims, offering flexibility and excellent electrical insulation properties. Trackelast FC897 can be used under any normal loading conditions. |

FC128 | More Info | 94 | 0.93 | 785 (20-80 kN) 5mm sample thickness |
N/A | Rail seat or baseplate pad designed for fitting between the rail and sleeper or baseplate. It can be supplied with retaining lips to prevent dislodging when in service as a rail pad. Also suitable for use with any axle loads, from light transit systems to heavy freight lines. |

FC584 | More Info | 60 | 1.05 | 190 (20-80 kN @ 1200 kN/min) 10mm sample thickness |
N/A | Used as a rail seat pad material, for use between either flat-bottomed rails and concrete sleepers or on malleable iron or steel baseplates. It is designed for maximum axle loads of 25 tonnes and speeds up to 250 KM/hr. |
Micromax (Rail Pad) | More Info | 53 | 0.97 | 140 (20-80 kN) 5.5mm sample thickness |
260 (20-80 kN 5Hz) 5.5mm sample thickness |
Reduces dynamic forces from the track into sleeper systems. In this way it is possible to give older sleeper designs modern levels of impact protection. Micro-max pads are also available for new build track. |
Micromax (Baseplate) | More Info | 50 | N/A | 48 (8 - 70.5 kN) 10mm sample thickness |
60 (8 - 70.5 kN, 2Hz) 10mm sample thickness |
Considerably reduces dynamic forces from the track into sleeper systems, and are suitable for both modern high speed systems and for upgrading older track designs. |
