Design, development & Innovation
Design
Research and Development is a core business activity at Worthington Rail. We continually review new product and process opportunities to deliver the most cost-effective solution for your application.
We offer our clients support with product design optimisation, cost estimation/budgeting, prototyping, testing/certification, right through to project-volume manufacture and after-sales service.
Testing & Compliance
Whether it's reaction to fire, mechanical properties or chemical content, Worthingnton Rail has established the necessary network of accredited partner laboratories to test and certify your product.
Fire-X® Fire Retardant Treatment
Worthington's proprietary Fire-X® formula is applied in-house via a vacuum and pressure impregnation process.
This provides wood-based products with greatly enhanced fire retardancy, consistently achieving a zero Spread Of Flame index under AS1530.3.
Curved Panels
Worthington Rail can manufacture single-axis curved panels in both composite and plywood substrates.

Whether it's to serve form or function, our panel curving capabilities open up your design possibilities.
