is protected against external influences for its entire service life.
BYK has further solutions for this. Among other things, the
division’s additives ensure that the train’s paint not only protects
the train, but also looks good. The addition of BYK additives
improves the flow, gloss, and color of the protective coating. After
all, the three or four coating layers used are together only as

Other BYK additives offer protection “along the way.”
Smooth rail traffic depends not only on high-performance trains,
but also on a safe and functioning railway network. BYK additives
equip paints for rail superstructure and railroad bridges with
a protective shield. So rather than corrosion damage, it’s “full

on urban and regional trains. This is a boon for people, machines
and, not least, the climate.
