PROTECTION OF MATERIALS. EXTERIOR PAINTING OF VEHICLE BODY PANELS. PART IIB- RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE FINISHING COAT

An enquiry among the railway administration represented on the E17b Specialist Committee, has shown that four different systems are currently used for the finishing coat of vehicle body-walls, i.e. dispersion paints, synthetic resin-based paints, nitrocellulose alkyd-resin-based paints, and two-component paints. The purpose of the recommendations given in this Report is to enable the most suitable finishing coat system to be selected. The Committee, however, wishes to emphasise that insufficient experience has been gained with the two most recent systems, dispersion paints and two-component lacquers, to permit a definitive assessment to be made. Publication of this report was mentioned in item 5 (finishing coat) of part II A of Interim Report No. 27 concerning the painting of the exterior of vehicle body panels.
