Bold Colour Schemes for Rail Company
The rail industry is booming in Australia. Due to the rising cost of fuel people are looking for alternative modes of travel. For Australasia’s leading rollingstock manufacturer, EDI Rail long term protection for locomotives, trains and freight wagons is top of the design agenda.
At over $4 million per train, the protective coating system used is required to offer both long term corrosion protection and a high quality finish. For designers creating bold colourful schemes that draws the eye to company logos is vital. However, they are very conscious of the technical aspects of colour selection. Compared to whites and greys, reds are renowned for both fading and poor coverage and EDI Rail were specific in choosing the best coating to achieve long lasting colour.
By utilising International Protective Coatings Interfine® 878 polysiloxane finish coat technology, offered EDI Rail four times the colour and gloss retention compared to traditional polyurethanes. As a result fewer maintenance projects are needed saving both time and money.
