FreiLacke at InnoTrans 2026 - Coating Systems for the Rail Industry
At InnoTrans 2026 in Berlin, September 22–25, FreiLacke will demonstrate how system coatings can meet the growing demands placed on modern rail vehicles, such as those related to surface finishes.
FreiLacke’s exhibition at Innotrans 2026 will focus on coating solutions—including liquid and powder coatings—for the interior and exterior of rail vehicles. The portfolio includes coordinated systems for various applications—ranging from durable exterior coatings to functional finishes for vehicle interiors. A particular challenge here is ensuring that the components exhibit a uniform color appearance and surface texture without visible color variations. Depending on the component, FreiLacke uses either liquid or powder coatings. FreiLacke supports its customers from the selection of suitable coating systems through technical consulting to the implementation of individual requirements. This customer support covers the entire process chain—from the train manufacturer and its suppliers to the train operator.
FreiLacke Anti-Graffiti Coating System
Graffiti continues to pose a major challenge for rail vehicles in Germany. To support operators in combating vandalism damage, FreiLacke has developed an innovative coating system. This system combines high resistance to mechanical and chemical stresses with an effective anti-graffiti function. Graffiti can be removed multiple times without leaving any residue and without causing discoloration or damage to the coating. In addition to reliable graffiti protection, the coating impresses with its resistance to aggressive cleaning agents. It is used, among other places, on handrails, ceiling panels, and the interior sides of doors in rail vehicles. As the leading international trade fair for transportation technology, InnoTrans brings together manufacturers, suppliers, and operators. “For us, InnoTrans is far more than just a product exhibition. It is a platform for personal dialogue with our customers and partners. Together, we want to discuss current challenges and explore solutions tailored to specific applications,” says Dr. Hilmar Weisse, Sales Manager for Rail Vehicles. FreiLacke will be exhibiting at InnoTrans 2026 in Hall 8.1, Booth 310.
