Case
We solved a compliance and durability challenge for a rail vehicle manufacturer.
The customer required a unified coating solution for both interior and exterior rail components. Their key challenges included meeting strict fire and smoke standards for interior parts while ensuring long-term weather resistance and easy cleaning for exterior panels.
We recommended using polyester-epoxy hybrid powder for interior components and polyester powder for exterior parts. By adjusting spraying voltage for complex geometries and optimizing curing conditions, the customer achieved stable adhesion, compliant fire performance, and consistent appearance across different component types. This helped streamline their coating process while meeting regulatory and durability requirements.
