The Tikkurila Coatings Group is one of Europe’s major paint manufacturers, supplying high-performance, environmentally compliant products for manufacturing, construction, maintenance and repair markets.

Since the 90s we have been gaining experience in painting passenger railway cars. In order to meet our customers’ needs our painting systems have been constantly modified and improved by implementing new generation products.

Taking into consideration special painting conditions in Railway Rolling Stock Maintenance Workshop we have designed our painting technology focusing distinctively on the fast painting process. Our products feature exceptionally short drying time which enables rapid recoating.

The recommended painting system consists of the epoxy primer that, in contrary to primers of the same type available on the market, can be recoated with polyurethane paints in a very short time (after 2 hours).

The latest system with the Certificate CNTK:CZ CNTK–06/2008 has been upgraded by adding the polyester putty Tech Plus and the graffiti remover Temadur Clear.

Protective /anti-graffiti system for maintenance, major repairs and painting of passenger railway cars:

1. Temacoat GPL-S – epoxy primer

2. Tech plus – polyester putty

3. Temacoat GPL-S – epoxy primer

4. Temathane AK-PUR – polyurethane topcoat

5. Temadur Clear – clear anti-graffiti lacquer

Tikkurila Coatings also offers highly-developed waterborne painting technologies which are extremely popular in Scandinavia.
