J-Flex Rubber Products was delighted to exhibit at Rolling Stock Networking (RSN) 2026 at Derby Arena, one of the UK’s leading rail industry networking events, bringing together manufacturers, suppliers, operators, and engineering specialists from across the railway sector.
The event provided an excellent opportunity for the J-Flex team to meet up with existing customers and partners, as well as new contacts from across the rail supply chain.
RSN continues to demonstrate the value of collaboration within the rail sector, and events such as these provide the ideal platform – if you’ll excuse the pun – to strengthen existing relationships, and explore new opportunities with organisations working to shape the future of rail & mass transit.
J-Flex supports the rail industry with a comprehensive range of rubber sheeting (solid & sponge), gaskets, seals, and bespoke rubber components such as mouldings and extrusions. Designed to meet the demanding requirements of railway applications, our products ensure performance and reliability across rolling stock and infrastructure projects.
Trusted across rail, infrastructure, construction and industrial sectors where fire safety and regulatory compliance are essential, J-Flex materials have achieved certification to:
EN 45545-2, the European standard governing fire protection requirements for railway vehicles;
LUL S1085, Transport for London’s specification for fire safety performance of materials used across the London Underground network;
UL 94, the globally recognised standard for assessing the flammability characteristics of plastic and rubber materials;
NFPA 130 Standard for Fixed Guideway Transit and Passenger Rail Systems, one of North America’s most important fire safety standards for rail and mass transit environments;
EN 13501-1, the European classification system for evaluating the reaction to fire performance of construction products and building elements.

Mark Awcock, Sales & Marketing Director, comments:
“We would like to thank everyone who took the time to stop by the J-Flex stand to chat about our capabilities and discuss fire-retardant, rubber requirements! It was great to exchange ideas and understand how we can continue supporting rail industry projects with high-quality rubber products and our engineering expertise.
A big thank you to the organisers for another successful event – we look forward to exhibiting again in 2027!”
