President Obama unveiled his administration's blueprint for a new national network of high-speed passenger rail lines Thursday, saying such an investment is necessary to reduce traffic congestion, cut dependence on foreign oil and improve the environment.

DuPont offers a number of solutions for rail and transit.  The company has developed long-lasting, cost-effective coatings that protect valuable transit assets throughout their entire life cycle and has a long history of field tests for transit vehicles which provides data on exactly how different chemistries perform.  DuPont uses those results to create coating systems that deliver the best combination of superior protection and value. Whatever the age, condition or damage, there’s a DuPont system specifically designed to deliver the results the customer is looking for.   In addition DuPont offers high performance polymers like Hytrel® thermoplastic elastomer that are used to replace rubber in rail vehicles and fixed rail systems.
