INDESTRUCTIBLE PAINT the rail sector. These include steel, aluminium, galvanised and composite surfaces which all gain from the composition of the epoxy and its chemical bonding characteristics. The performance capability of the RWIP120 range covers a long list of challenges faced by rail operators. From impact, chip and scratch resistance to the ability to withstand high humidity environments, all are key benefits as are proven resistance to abrasion, salt spray and wash plant operations. The commitment to developing coatings to meet exact requirements is further demonstrated by two associated system – RWIP1000, a single component water-based intumescent coating developed to enhance fire resistance on timber flooring inside the carriage, and RWIP3000, a two component epoxy-based air drying or forced drying intumescent coating which has been developed to provide enhanced fire resistance for metallic, timber and composite substrates. Both products have been specially developed for use in the rail industry on vehicle components and civil installations and both are particularly resistant to high air movement while maintaining excellent adhesion after they have intumesced. Other examples of products that offer key gains in the rail sector range from RWIPAPF – a high quality alkyd primer finish coat which delivers excellent corrosion and weather resistance – to RWThin, which provides a cleaner and thinner performance for both greasy and corrosion protected parts. “There is a clear link between our methods and technology and the ongoing build and maintenance needs of the rail operating field,” adds Brian Norton, Indestructible Paint’s Managing Director. “By applying experience and methodology that has enabled us to work closely with major global manufacturers in fields such as aerospace, we are confident that we will be able to bring important performance, cost and safety benefits to the full list of rail industry organisations.“ Telephone: +44(0)121 702 2485 Email: [email protected] Visit: www.indestructible.co.uk LIVE Revised dates: 24th & 25th February 2021, NEC, Birmingham - we have everything covered 2021, NEC, Birmingham For more information please email Nigel Bean: [email protected] 160 2020 - 2021 read online: www.surfaceworld.com
