Bostik offers a wide range of solutions to meet the complexity of safety standards in mass transit, and customers and suppliers around the globe can depend on Bostik’s technical expertise.

Significant numbers of people rely daily on mass transit vehicles that have an average life span of several decades. Manufacturers have a great responsibility to design safe and reliable means of transportation, and both manufacturers and suppliers must have a long term vision.
Reliability and safety through engineered adhesives and sealants (DIN6701 and CEN/TS45545)
Bostik tests its adhesives according to standard industrial requirement DIN6701. The DIN6701 norm focuses on the behaviour of adhesively bonded joints before and after aging and gives railway manufacturers better means to optimise their designs.
