Providing a top-performing, innovative ceramic coat, this product is widely used by locomotive and bus operators. The coating is designed to protect assets against the harshest conditions, and tests confirm that no competitors’ coatings outperform ours for gloss retention and impact resistance.
This means your vehicles spend more time in operation and less time being retouched and refinished. Combining superior durability with consistent premium quality, Aqueous Protect covers all your needs.
Health & Safety Benefits
The high-gloss finish of this coating helps reduce the amount of time spent on polishing carriages where a simple clean will suffice. What’s more, this improves health and safety, with maintenance crews spending less time working on and around carriages and tracks.
Anti-Graffiti
We understand the challenges and importance of maintaining a graffiti-free surface, which is why we provide an anti-graffiti ceramic clear coat to help you protect your surfaces. The clear coating has excellent cleaning properties to both paint and glass, making any graffiti easy to remove in an instant. As well as combatting graffiti, this resists dirt, airborne contamination, acid rain, diesel soot, oils, and chemicals.
Glass Coatings
There are several benefits to using Aqueous Guard® Glass Coat on the windows of trains travelling at high speeds. First and foremost, the highly hydrophobic coating removes rainwater instantly, keeping the windscreen clearer. External studies have proven that hydrophobic coatings increase the reaction time and decrease fatigue for train operators.
