PROTECTION OF MATERIALS. PROTECTION OF THE INNER SURFACES OF WAGON BODIES OF OPEN GOODS WAGONS

The NS started service tests in January 1961 and the SNCF in November 1961; the object of these tests was to determine whether more recent painting procedures could ensure an economic protection of the inner surfaces. In both cases, the service results were observed within the frame of studies of the E17b Specialists Committee. The test results so far obtained have led to the conclusion that an economic protection is indeed possible when using zinc rich paints as primer and, if necessary, a bituminous finishing coating.
