Following the successful launch of two FDA compliant coatings into North America’s rail industry last year, AkzoNobel said it gained additional FDA approval for one of two new high performance chemical-resistant linings to help the rail industry protect tank and hopper cars from an expanded range of chemical corrosion:
“These easy to use, fast drying chemical resistant linings dramatically increase the level of protection in rail car interiors," said Tim Schaffer, AkzoNobel’s North America key account manager for Rail. "Whether transporting high temperature crude oil, hydrocarbons and vegetable oils, plastic pellets, or highly corrosive solids like potash and rock salt, our focused mission is to help the rail industry increase productivity, ensure compliance, and extend maintenance lifecycles through advanced coating technologies and technical support.”
- Devchem 253HS is a high solids; one coat epoxy novolac lining that provides exceptional resistance to a wide range of highly corrosive chemicals and solvents over a variety of temperatures and pressures.
- Interline 994 is a two component, chemical resistant phenolic epoxy novolac lining that is FDA approved for rail car interiors that carry harsh corrosive liquids and oils at high temperatures, including molten sulfur.
