Needle Punch Rail Mats
Pacific Environmental's Needle Punch Rail Mats are the ideal product for absorbing, blocking, and containing spills from rail cars. They are constructed of layers of highly absorbent material sandwiched between a high strength needle punched felt top layer and tacky black poly ground liner to prevent bleed through.
The UV resistant material comes in 60" rolls to fit between the rails and 19" rolls to fit on the outside of the rails. These items can be used separately or in unison. Although this product has been marketed for the Rail Roads in particular, there are many other applications for which this product can be used. This product has been used on warehouse floors, forklift traffic, foot traffic in plants, foot traffic at oil spills, fuel depots, construction sites, and the list goes on.
