Pyrotek to showcase expanded rail solutions at InnoTrans 2026

Introducing the next generation of Sorbermel®

At InnoTrans 2026, Pyrotek will showcase the latest advancements in the Sorbermel® platform, delivering innovation in both performance and sustainability.

Making its debut, hydrophobic Sorbermel® H combines the exceptional acoustic performance and lightweight characteristics of melamine foam with outstanding water repellency. Engineered for demanding transportation environments, it is designed for applications where moisture and condensation can affect long-term performance, giving designers greater flexibility when specifying lightweight acoustic insulation for rail vehicles.

Visitors will also discover the next evolution of the Sorbermel platform. Sorbermel is now manufactured using an ISCC PLUS-certified eco-balanced raw material grade, reducing its carbon footprint while delivering the same trusted acoustic performance, fire safety and material properties engineers expect.

Whether your priority is enhanced environmental durability or lower embodied carbon, the next generation of Sorbermel offers intelligent acoustic solutions without compromise.

Advanced vibration damping

For applications where structure-borne noise is a concern, Pyrotek will present Decidamp® SP500, a spray-applied vibration damping coating engineered to reduce panel resonance and vibration while providing excellent coverage on complex geometries. The seamless spray application offers an efficient alternative where conventional damping materials may be difficult to install.

Anti-Condensation Thermal Coating

Visitors can also explore Decicoat® T35, a spray-applied thermal insulation coating developed to minimise condensation, reduce thermal bridging and help protect metal structures against corrosion. Its seamless application makes it particularly effective on complex geometries where traditional insulation systems can leave gaps or thermal bridges.

Passive Fire Protection

Completing Pyrotek's protective coating portfolio is Decicoat® P60, a water-based intumescent coating for structural fire protection. The compound expands when exposed to high temperatures, forming an insulating char layer that helps metal structures maintain their integrity for longer while providing valuable additional evacuation time.

Rail Infrastructure Noise Control

Pyrotek's expertise extends beyond rolling stock with Decidamp® RTD, a tuned rail track damper designed to reduce rail-radiated noise directly at the source. Installed on the rail web, Decidamp RTD absorbs vibration generated by passing trains, helping to reduce noise emissions while minimising rail resonance, wear and corrugation.

For infrastructure projects requiring enhanced noise control, Decidamp RTD is often combined with Reapor® acoustic absorption panels. Together, these complementary solutions reduce railway noise at its source while absorbing reflected sound in tunnels and other rail infrastructure environments.
