(CRRC) requirements to reflect sunlight
and heat away from a structure. The products are currently participating in a three-year certification program of age testing,
after which they will qualify for Energy

compliant antistatic paint for direct food
contact is necessary. It can be used to in-
dicate hazardous material and equipment
plus safety features such as exits, ma-
chinery, telephones, lighting panels, alarm
switches, floor paths leading to exits, op-
erating equipment, safety gates, or any
place where safety and static removal are
necessary. In addition, Static
Paint can be grounded, has high
visibility, can be used for interior
or exterior application and is a
water-based, one-part system. It is avail-
able in white and off white and can be
used on walls, floors, steel handles, rail-

New technology solutions for
the rail industry from BASF
BASF has introduced four new technology
solutions to support the global rail industry—Elastotrack, Elastollan, Elastocoat
and Elasturan rail solutions. As a global
platform to support the rail sector and its
customers, BASF Polyurethane Systems
has set out to change how the rail industry addresses maintenance and expansion
challenges. BASF exclusive polyurethane
systems and thermoplastic polyurethane
(TPU) products are used in a variety of
rail solutions. Elastotrack is a two-component polyurethane system that, when
applied to ballast stones, prevents shifting
or movement from the dynamic force of
passing trains. Elastollan excels in every
standard measure of polyurethane performance, offering superior compression
set, weather and abrasion resistance, load-bearing and damping qualities, and hydrolytic stability when utilized for railway
pads. Elastocoat permanently protects rail
structures from corrosion and abrasion,
keeping pH levels accurate while adding
strength to existing metal structures. Elasturan, a damping elastomer, provides
noise insulation, increases durability and
minimizes railroad maintenance costs.
The benefits of BASF rail solutions include
reduced maintenance costs, reduced potential for derailments, improved environmental performance and a quieter, more
comfortable ride for passengers, the company said.
