UHMWPE plastic railway sleepers


Plastic sleeper is a kind of railway sleeper made from mixed plastics as the main material.

Railway sleeper (railroad ties or crosstie in the US) is a component laying under the track 

to support railroad rails and transfer the pressure to the ballast. There are mainly four types

of railway sleepers according to the materials. Wooden sleeper, concrete sleeper, steel sleeper

and plastic sleeper. They differ in many aspects and are suitable for different construction

condition. As a new material, plastic sleeper is a good alternative to wooden and concrete sleepers.

Plastic railway sleepers are polymer of plastic with waste and rubber. One typical plastic 

railway sleeper uses PE(Polyethylene) and PS (Polystyrene) as the main material. 

Authoritative tests have proved that plastic sleepers are not easy to form pits. In the real 

application on railroad rails, plastic sleeper surpassed people’s expectations. It provides 

stable support and extremely reduces vibration and noise. Due to the excellent ductility,

it can be installed on railway turnout, bridge these places. What’s more, the significant 

feature of this type of material is longevity. It is estimated to be 3 times longer than 

wooden sleepers, which means nearly 50 years. The sustainable character also contributes

to its popularity. It can be recycled and used in gardening and landscaping.
