download PDFAbstract. The article discusses fire parameters of composites made on the basis of polyester resin, proposed for use in rail transport. The modifications and their effect on the flammable properties of these materials have been described. It has been shown that achieving the intended goals such as weight reduction or improvement of the aesthetics of the surface significantly changes parameters related to heat emission and flame propagation. In connection with the above, the scope of the introduced changes requires conducting control tests in the field of fire safety.
