Protective Sector

Rail

Impact-resistant exterior topcoats and abrasion barriers engineered for freight cars, hopper cars, and transit systems.

Sector Overview

Rail rolling stock is subjected to continuous abrasive cargo loading, gravel ballast impact, aggressive washing chemicals, and relentless climate changes. PROCOAT Rail systems ensure wagons and locomotives remain protected and visually pristine throughout heavy freight transit.

Recommended Coating Systems

ProRail ToughCoat High-Solids Polyurethane

Impact-resistant topcoat designed to resist chemical washings and stone chipping.

Solvent-Free Hopper Lining Epoxy

Ultra-hard, low-friction internal lining preventing bulk cargo hang-up and wear.

Underbody Bituminous Moisture Seal

Thick film barrier dampening acoustics and protecting chassis against track debris.

Key Applications

  • Freight wagons, boxcars, and intermodal container chassis
  • Grain, coal, and mineral bulk hopper car interiors
  • Passenger locomotive bodies and undercarriages
  • Rail bridges, catenary masts, and wayside signal equipment

Performance Advantages

  • Extreme resistance to mechanical gouging and abrasive cargo flow
  • Quick turnaround recoat times minimizing rolling stock downtime
  • High resistance to caustic wash agents and industrial chemical detergents
  • Long-term gloss retention ensuring crisp fleet identity
