Simplified cleaning and prevented costly repainting
Graffiti removal costs reduced by €8,110 per locomotive
Initial situation
During weekends, locomotives parked in the yard were frequently targeted with graffiti. Over time, airborne iron particles bonded with the surface grime, creating a hard, crust-like layer that made graffiti removal extremely difficult. Standard cleaning procedures often failed, resulting in costly repainting, with an average cost of €8,110 per locomotive.
Our solution
The switch to Interflon Degreaser EM30+, a powerful industrial degreaser suitable for removing complex contaminants like graffiti, oil, and crusted dirt.
Results
- Graffiti is removed quickly and effectively
- Cleaning operations are safer, simpler, and less labour-intensive
- Product remains stable and effective even after long-term storage
- Cost savings of €8,110 per locomotive by avoiding repainting
With Interflon Degreaser EM30+, graffiti removal became a simple three-step process: spray, wait five minutes, and wipe off. This reduced the need for abrasive methods and eliminated the cost and downtime associated with repainting.
Conclusion
By switching to Interflon Degreaser EM30+, the operator saves over €8,000 per locomotive while simplifying the graffiti removal process and preserving the integrity of surface coatings.
