Surfaces Designed to Withstand Everyday Wear and Tear

Coating systems for rail vehicles that combine mechanical and chemical resistance, color stability, and an attractive appearance—for manufacturers and refurbishers of vehicles subjected to heavy use.

Coating Systems

System Benefits

Durability for Demanding Railway Operations — The system protects undercarriages from moisture, de-icing salts, oils, and general mechanical stress.
Quick repairs and new vehicle production — fast-drying systems help reduce downtime during production and maintenance repairs.
Solutions tailored to the required service life — ranging from economical water-based systems to the highly durable ZG 17 + PE 73 epoxy-polyurethane system.
High mechanical resistance—the coatings withstand daily operational loads and the demanding conditions of rail transport.

What to Watch Out For

Service life is influenced by surface preparation—proper blasting and degreasing are essential for long-term protection.
The choice of system depends on the operational load—for the most demanding applications, we recommend the two-component system ZG 17 + PE 73.
Follow the application guidelines—the substrate temperature must be at least 3 °C above the dew point.

Designed for rail vehicles

The coating systems meet the requirements of both manufacturers and railway vehicle maintenance organizations.

Protection in Demanding Operating Conditions

They are resistant to water, chemicals, mechanical stress, and long-term operation.

A Faster Return to Service

Fast drying helps reduce both vehicle production and service times.

System Benefits

Long-lasting, presentable appearance of vehicles—topcoats retain their color, gloss, and attractive appearance throughout long-term operation.
UV and weather resistance — the system protects the visible parts of rail vehicles from aging, moisture, and adverse weather conditions.
High mechanical resistance — the surface withstands normal operational loads, washing, and mechanical wear.
Solutions for Various Manufacturer Requirements — the option to choose a semi-gloss, gloss, or high-gloss topcoat depending on project requirements.

What to Watch Out For

A perfect finish starts with a high-quality primer—for best results, we recommend using PF 22 primer.
Two-component coatings require proper mixing—the exact ratio of the components affects both the final durability and appearance.
Follow the recommended application conditions—especially substrate temperature, relative humidity, and recommended recoating intervals.
