As an important carrier of railway transportation, the corrosion resistance of sleepers has always been the focus of the industry. As a common antiseptic wood, antiseptic sleepers are widely respected for their excellent antiseptic performance. During the transportation of anti-corrosion sleepers, we have seen that when using trucks for transportation, there is basically no use of rain cloth for covering. Almost all the anti-corrosion sleepers are transported directly in the open air, and they seem not to be afraid of sun or rain. We can't help asking: it's the same wood. Why are antiseptic sleepers not afraid of being drenched? Next, Qingdao Tiehan will give you a brief analysis.
Ordinary wood is really afraid of being drenched. When it is drenched in rain, it is easy to get damp, moldy and then rot. however, the anti-corrosion sleeper is different because it has excellent corrosion resistance. Since the anti-corrosion sleepers have undergone professional anti-corrosion treatment in the manufacturing process. By impregnating wood with anticorrosive oil at high temperature and high pressure, the interior of the cellular structure of the anticorrosive sleeper has been fully penetrated and protected by anticorrosive ingredients. Generally speaking, these anti-corrosion oils have strong water resistance and moisture resistance, and can effectively block moisture and oxygen, thus greatly extending the service life of sleepers. In contrast, ordinary sleepers without special treatment are more vulnerable to rain erosion, resulting in surface cracking, internal decay and shorter service life.
The simple understanding is that the surface of the anti-corrosion sleeper is close to oil and is not easy to absorb water. After preservative treatment, the wood surface becomes more compact, and it is difficult for moisture to penetrate into the interior. Even in the harsh transportation environment, the outer layer of the anti-corrosion sleepers can effectively block water and will not cause serious water absorption. This means that even without additional rain cloth cover, the anti-corrosion sleepers are unlikely to be eroded by rain during transportation. In contrast, ordinary sleepers are easier to absorb moisture, and once they are soaked in rain for a long time, the internal structure will be gradually damaged.
In fact, we can guess if we think about the working environment behind the antiseptic sleepers. The vast majority of the railway area is naturally open-air, and it needs to experience wind, sun and rain frequently. In this environment, the anti-corrosion sleepers can have a service life of more than ten years or even decades, not to mention the time during transportation.
In general, the reason why the anti-corrosion sleepers do not need to be covered with extra rain cloth during transportation lies in their excellent anti-corrosion and waterproof performance. This not only greatly reduces the transportation cost, but also greatly improves the transportation efficiency. In contrast, ordinary sleepers are more vulnerable to water damage and have to be covered with rain cloth to prevent damage. It can be said that anticorrosive sleepers are undoubtedly a wise choice in railway transportation. In the future, with the continuous development of new anti-corrosion technology, it is believed that anti-corrosion sleepers will play a more important role in the railway system.
