This is how it works:
The TSA or TSZ rail outer coating becomes a sacrificial anode
The steel being protected (the rail) is the cathode
Thermally sprayed metal oxidises in favour of the rail
Corrosion of the rail steel core is prevented
Key Features of TSA and TSZ are:
- No mixing is required before application
- Effective corrosion protection immediately
- No VOC’s
- The scarification action of aluminium/zinc prevents corrosion from edges and discontinuities
- Coating can be applied to longer lengths of rail to protect against corrosion
Key Benefits of TSA/TZA are:
- Massive reduction in downtime
- Maintenance free
- Prolongs the life of your assets
- Longer lengths of corrosion-prone track, in areas such as wet tunnels and coastal routes, can be protected with minimised installation time and significantly reduced on-site welding requirements
