Innovative and sustainable Alesta AR coatings will protect
tunnel sound barriers
Axalta-Huajia Coatings, a joint venture between Axalta Coating
Systems (NYSE: AXTA), a leading global supplier of liquid and
powder coatings, and the Huangshan Yongjia Group Co. Ltd., will
partner with SHAZC Group to coat the sound barriers installed on
Shanghai’s new Metro Line 17. Axalta’s premium powder coating
Alesta® AR will protect the sound management structures along the
Qingpu section of the line.
The Alesta AR500-UD series meets the most stringent exterior
performance standards of the architectural industry, thanks to its
architectural grade fluoropolymer powder coating technology. In
addition, the AR500-UD series of products also feature
environmentally responsible formulations and ultra-low VOC to offer
excellent protection and high color accuracy as well as
gloss-stability along with easy-care, easy-clean and anti-graffiti
properties.
“Axalta is honored to participate in the construction of this
important branch of Shanghai’s public transportation network,” said
Mike Cash, President of Axalta’s Industrial Coatings business.
“With the growth of China’s high-speed rail transportation, there
is also an accelerated demand for future high-speed systems to
operate quietly and sustainably. I am confident that our innovative
products will improve the effectiveness and appearance of sound
barriers by providing superior corrosion resistance and durability
with ease of application.”
Though the project marks the first commercial application of
Axalta’s Alesta AR powder coatings in China’s mass transit railway
sector, Axalta has already made significant contributions to
China’s rail transportation industry. For example, Axalta has
provided its coating solutions to the high-speed trains of Harbin
Dalian railway, and to trains in the extension section of Tianjin
Urban Rail Line 1 and the Beijing Metro Line 15.
“Axalta is a key strategic partner of SHAZC, and we’ve worked
together for more than 10 years. Its innovative technologies,
quality products and solutions, and superior services have
contributed to the development and long-term success of the SHAZC
Group and the entire rail transportation industry,” said Mr. Song
Fengbin, Vice General Manager of the Engineering Center of
SHAZC.
