Discover how our advanced coating technology and precision manufacturing can extend the life of your rail infrastructure.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- Zinc Flake Coating: Provides superior barrier protection against moisture, chemicals, and UV radiation, outperforming traditional hot-dip galvanizing in thin-film applications.
- 1000-Hour Salt Spray Test: Independently tested to ASTM B117 standard, demonstrating no red rust after 1000 hours of continuous exposure — ideal for coastal, tunnel, and humid environments.
- High Elasticity & Fatigue Resistance: Manufactured from premium spring steel (e.g., 60Si2Mn or equivalent), heat-treated to maintain consistent clamping force over millions of cycles.
- Customizable Dimensions: Available in standard profiles (SKL, E-clip, etc.) or custom shapes to match your rail section and sleeper configuration.
- Easy Installation: Designed for use with standard rail fastening tools, reducing labor time and maintenance costs.

Benefits for Your Rail Project
- Reduced Maintenance Cycle: The zinc flake coating significantly slows corrosion, allowing longer intervals between replacements — cutting life-cycle costs by up to 30%.
- Consistent Performance: Our elastic rail clips maintain stable clamping force over time, preventing rail lift and gauge widening, which enhances safety and ride quality.
- Environmental Adaptability: Suitable for desert, coastal, and cold regions where humidity, salt spray, or freeze-thaw cycles are common.
- Global Compatibility: Designed to meet international standards (e.g., UIC, AREMA, BS) and can be customized for specific rail profiles including 50kg, 60kg, and 75kg rail.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: What is the difference between zinc flake coating and hot-dip galvanizing?
A: Zinc flake coating provides a thinner, more uniform layer with excellent adhesion and no hydrogen embrittlement risk. It offers superior corrosion resistance in thin-film applications, especially for high-strength springs like rail clips. -
Q: Can you supply clips for special rail profiles (e.g., 115RE, 141RE)?
A: Yes, we can customize the clip geometry and spring rate to match your rail profile. Please provide your drawings or specifications. -
Q: What is the typical lead time?
A: For standard sizes, lead time is 15–20 days after order confirmation. Custom orders may require 25–30 days depending on complexity. -
Q: How do you ensure the 1000-hour salt spray result?
A: We perform third-party testing according to ASTM B117. A sample from each production batch is tested to verify performance. Test reports are available upon request. -
Q: Are these clips compatible with existing fastening systems (e.g., Pandrol, Vossloh)?
A: Our clips are designed to be interchangeable with industry-standard systems. However, we recommend confirming dimensions and clamping force requirements with our engineers. -
Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: MOQ for standard clips is 2000 pieces. For custom designs, MOQ may be negotiated based on tooling. -
Q: Do you offer samples for testing?
A: Yes, we can provide samples (freight collect) for evaluation. Please contact our sales team. -
Q: How do you package the clips to prevent corrosion during shipping?
A: Each clip is individually coated, then bundled and packed with anti-corrosion paper and vacuum-sealed plastic bags. Bundles are placed on pallets and wrapped with stretch film for ocean freight.
