Multiple factors, such as stray currents, salt, water, and moisture, cause the corrosion of rails. Corrosion creates a high risk of damage to the rail parts. Moreover, rail corrosion weakens the foot of the rails as well. Railway coatings protect the rails from corrosion. Coatings used in the railway industry are waterproof as well as insulated. The coatings can be applied to all types of rails including flat bottom rails.
