Performance, engineered

 

A multi-layered vinyl which delivers the highest of performance standards, Rapido has been technically engineered for flexibility, flammability, and durability.



With each layer working in harmony, Rapido delivers on every level – a knitted cotton backing provides enhanced flame retardancy; one layer of PVC creates robust adhesion and an ultra-flexible handle; a second layer of PVC provides colouration and a textured grain surface; a final, durable PU finish brings a layer of protection, and creates the soft, matt look and feel of Rapido.

Easy clean surface

 

With a bleach cleanable surface, Rapido can be quickly disinfected for enhanced sanitisation in today’s hygiene-conscious world.

Guaranteed flexibility 

 

With a knitted cotton backing and pliable composition, Rapido is highly flexible. Certified to ISO 7854 400,000 cycles, this test demonstrates the product’s resistance to damage by flexing and guarantees that it is ideal for upholstery on seating, piping, and headrests in rail interiors.

Enhanced durability 

 

Achieving over 100,000 Martindale rubs, the soft, semi-matt surface and easy drape of Rapido belies its high durability.

Flame retardant to EN 45545 (R21) – HL3

 

The European standard for fire protection on trains, EN 45545 assesses the ignitability, heat release, smoke opacity and toxicity of a material. Implemented to ensure that rail interiors achieve the highest level of safety possible, the regulation allows passengers more time to escape from a carriage in the event of a fire.


Designed and manufactured with safety at its core, Rapido meets EN 45545 to the highest hazard level, HL3.
