ORAFOL trains sights on first class railway graphics

ORAFOL has become one of the first materials manufacturers to achieve classification according to DIN EN 45545-2:2023 & 2020 for a selected portfolio of graphic film solutions for the exterior and interior design of railway vehicles. This classification expands the application possibilities of ORAFOL’s product portfolio within the railway sector and underlines the company’s technological expertise in delivering high-performance solutions for demanding international rail applications.

Modern railway graphic solutions need to do more than create a premium appearance. Throughout the vehicle’s lifetime, they need to withstand demanding environmental conditions while increasingly meeting documented fire safety requirements. International projects, cross-border tenders and harmonised safety standards increasingly require product solutions that combine outstanding technical performance with proven regulatory compliance. DIN EN 45545-2 is itself recognised across Europe as the leading fire protection standard for railway vehicles.

By achieving this classification, ORAFOL further strengthens its position as a development partner for high-quality graphic film solutions in the railway industry. The classified portfolio helps customers simplify approval and certification processes while enabling efficient project implementation in compliance with applicable railway safety requirements. The successful classification confirms that selected ORAFOL product solutions meet the required fire performance criteria and are therefore suitable for use on both the interior and exterior of railway vehicles. It provides customers with a reliable basis for projects where regulatory compliance is just as essential as design quality, durability and long-term performance.

The ORAFOL materials that have met the DIN EN 45545-2:2023 & 2020 classification are:

• ORACAL® 970 RA and ORACAL® 970 RA+ Premium Wrapping Cast for full vehicle wrapping applications
• ORACAL® 951 Premium Cast for plotter-cut graphics
• ORACAL® 770 RA for special applications
• ORAJET® 3951 HT RA+ Premium Digital Printing Cast in combination with ORAGUARD® 290 or ORAGUARD® 373 laminates
