Braking sands for trams and trains are applied directly onto the rail in front of the wheels giving them the additional grip needed to respond to braking and acceleration in slippery conditions. They should have a high quartz content and should be free of loam, clay and oversized grains. Due to its high chemical and mineralogical purity crystal quartz sand from Schlingmeier is distinguished by its high quartz content. Control screening with machines of the latest screen generation delivers products that are free of oversized grains. The wheels will gain additional traction and the sanding system will work reliable without clogging.

Winter sands from Schlingmeier are effective natural products which can prevent slip-and-fall injuries on slippery surfaces, such as snow-covered or icy sidewalks, roads, exterior stairs, gateways, and entrances. Since the sand will work a long time after spreading, the quantities needed are quite low. The sand will not agglomerate and can be spread homogeneously with proper sanding equipments.

Winter sands from Schlingmeier consist of universal silica sand and can be supplied both as straight sand and sand/salt mixes. The salt used as auxiliary melting substance contains at least 97,5 % NaCl.
