Tedlar has long been trusted in the transportation industry, and it continues to set the bar for long-lasting protection. Fortilam Decor is made up of Tedlar polyvinyl fluoride film laminated to stiff PVC and then put on a metal substrate. Tedlar is highly resistant to chemical pollutants, ensuring both aesthetic endurance and simplicity of cleaning – a critical concern for railway and transportation applications with high foot traffic.Fortilam Decor is ideal for use on railway interior walls, panels and other high-contact areas that require durability and hygiene. It can also be used on buses, trams and other public vehicles that face similar high demands. Fortilam Decor is available in a variety of finishes and embossing possibilities, allowing for customization to meet design specifications.
