SEKISUI Rail Technology - FFU Sleepers & Bearers

In 1980 Fiber-Reinforced Foamed Urethane (FFU) synthetic sleepers were invented in partnership with RTR Institute in Tokyo, Japan.  FFU sleepers offer the advantages of timber sleepers: (lighter weight, flexibility, ease of workability) without the disadvantages (rotting; shorter lifespan; etc.). FFU also offers: superior lateral stability; form retentiveness; strength; longer lifespan (50+ years); durability; no water absorption or rotting; chemical and oil resistance; thermal resistance (-65 up to +50 degrees C).
