What are the advantages of applying bitumenizing surface treatment to Rail Clips?

Rail clip, also called elastic rail clip, it is used to fasten the rail tracks with railroad spike, rail pad, track bolt, rail joint bar together. It is also usually used as a part of rail fastening system. There are huge demand of rail clips on the railway line, about 7000pcs per kilometer, which is directly related to rail safety.

Applying a bitumenizing surface treatment to rail elastic clips enhances their performance by providing corrosion protection and improving their durability. This treatment creates a barrier against moisture, salts, and chemicals, which helps prevent rust and extends the lifespan of the clip.

Corrosion protection

• Bitumenizing a surface creates a protective layer that acts as a barrier against moisture, salt spray, and industrial chemicals, preventing rust and corrosion.

• This is crucial for extending the service life of the clips, especially in harsh environments.

Enhanced durability

• The protective coating helps the clips withstand wear, abrasion, and other forms of damage that can occur under the repeated stress of a railway environment.

• It contributes to the overall integrity and reliability of the rail fastening system.
