Union Tank Car Company has purchased the Plas-Chem line of protective coatings and paints from East Texas Coatings, Inc. April 17, 2000 - Chicago, IL - Union Tank Car Company has purchased the Plas-Chem line of protective coatings and paints from East Texas Coatings, Inc. Frank D. Lester, Union Tank Car president, made the announcement. Plas-Chem coating formulations include epoxies, organic and inorganic zincs, urethanes, vinyl esters and alkyds used to paint exteriors and to coat interiors of railroad tank cars and plastics hopper cars. "An epoxy tank coating used in caustic soda and molten sulfur cars is the prize for Union Tank Car," explained Lester. "Plas-Chem 2310 has a long, successful track record and is competitive from a VOC compliance perspective with all similar families of coatings. But most important, it does not have the health-suspect ingredients found in some competitor epoxy tank car coatings." "The entire group of Plas-Chem formulations melds, essentially without overlaps, with Union Tank Car's line of Lithcote high-bake phenolic coatings. We soon will be able to offer our customers an even more complete line of proprietary coating applications in which Union Tank Car has control of and takes responsibility for the material as well as the installation. First, though, our North America Coatings Department will investigate, analyze and improve those Plas-Chem materials with the most immediate applicability to our customers' needs," said Lester.
