PPC specializes in Fluoropolymers and Thermoplastic Coating Applications for the Railway Industry

Fluoropolymers and Thermoplastic Coatings are specialized protective layers applied to surfaces to enhance durability, resistance to environmental factors, and overall performance. These coatings are widely used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and railways, providing corrosion protection, wear resistance, and aesthetic appeal.

Key Properties of Coatings deployed for Railway Industry

  1. Corrosion Resistance – Protects metal surfaces from rust and oxidation.
  2. Abrasion & Wear Resistance – Increases longevity by reducing surface wear.
  3. Chemical Resistance – Prevents damage from exposure to harsh chemicals.
  4. UV & Weather Resistance – Ensures durability in extreme weather conditions.
  5. Fire Resistance – Reduces flammability and enhances safety.
  6. Adhesion & Flexibility – Ensures the coating remains intact under mechanical stress.

Applications in the Railway Industry

  1. Railcar Coatings
  • Exterior coatings protect against weathering, corrosion, and UV exposure.
  • Interior coatings provide resistance to fire, arasion, and chemical spills.
  1. Track Infrastructure Protection
  • Protective coatings on railway bridges, tracks, and sleepers prevent rust and extend service life.
  • Anti-graffiti coatings help maintain aesthetics.
  1. Locomotive Coatings
  • High-performance coatings on engines and undercarriage components protect against oil, heat, and mechanical wear.
  1. Electrical & Signal Systems
  • Specialized coatings protect signalling equipment from moisture, dust, and corrosion, ensuring efficient railway operations.
