Fire-safe composite systems for lightweight, safety-critical applications in rail vehicle construction
KREMGuard® - fire protection and structural performance in one system
KREMGuard® is a fire-safe composite system that has been specially developed for demanding applications in rail vehicles. The material portfolio meets the fire protection requirements of EN 45545 and also offers high mechanical strength, durability and resistance to vibrations and environmental influences.
Typical applications are
- Interior wall and ceiling panels
- Roof structures and cladding
- Floor systems and substructures
- External components with fire protection-critical requirements
Compared to conventional metallic or sandwich solutions, KREMGuard® composites enable greater design freedom, functional integration and component consolidation. They therefore support modern rail vehicle architectures with strict safety and weight requirements.
Lightweight construction potential beyond pure material substitution
KREMGuard® offers excellent fire performance and structural efficiency. However, its full lightweight design potential only unfolds when it is integrated at system level. Simply replacing existing components without adapting load paths, interfaces or safety assumptions often limits the weight savings that can be achieved.
How TGM supports effective integration
TGM supports the integration of KREMGuard® through technical weight management and mass properties engineering. This ensures predictable weight behavior at vehicle level - from the concept phase to the final weighing.
