What is composite sleeper

Composite sleeper, also known as synthetic sleeper, is a type of railway sleeper made from continuous glass fiber-reinforced polyurethane foam material. It combines the characteristics of glass fiber-reinforced plastic composite and foam materials, offering advantages such as high strength, light weight, insulation, chemical resistance, and similarity to wood properties. Widely used in high-speed railways and subways, especially in situations where the use of concrete sleepers is limited.
