Railway track pads, also referred to as railway rubber pads, rail track mats, or elastic rail pads, are available from GNEE RAIL in various specifications with customization options according to client requirements. These pads are typically manufactured from materials such as polyurethane, synthetic rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), natural rubber, high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) etc. Installed between the rail and concrete sleepers, railway track pads primarily function to reduce impact and vibration within the track fastening system.
