Axion International to Provide Recycled Structural Composites to Mexican Railway

Axion International, manufacturer of alternative infrastructure and industrial building products, declared that it has begun the first test order of its recycled structural composite with a major Mexican railway line, Ferromex.

Ferromex has over 8,000 km of main tracks that comprise 55% of concrete ties and 45% of wood. The railway network covers the major cities in Mexico, five points on the border of the US, two sea ports in Gulf of Mexico and four ports on the Pacific Ocean.

The recycled structural composite will be deployed in Mexico’s different coastal regions to evaluate the functional capabilities of the material in salt-air and harsh weather conditions. The salty weather conditions induce faster degradation of conventional construction materials such as concrete ties and creosote treated wood when compared to the salt-free inland locations.

The recycled structural composite, developed in collaboration with Materials Sciences and Engineering Department of Rutgers University, is an inert material and does not contain any harmful elements. It resists insect infestation, will not leak any toxic chemicals and does not get deformed. The lightweight material can be transported cost effectively and above all can be recycled again after completing its operational life.
