When Metro-North Railroad sought a replacement for acoustic ceiling
panels in the cabs of its GE GENESIS* passenger locomotives, it decided
to use the opportunity to find a material solution that was compliant
with new flame and smoke requirements of the US Federal Railroad
Association (FRA). A collaborative effort by GE - Plastics, AZDEL, Inc.
(a 50/50 joint venture of GE and PPG Industries), Schneller Inc., and
American Acoustical Products led to the innovative HushLiner FR
acoustic ceiling panel, which features the Rail-Lite composite from
Azdel, Inc. |
