Maritime, Rail & Transport

Safety, performance and protection you can trust.

Certified for safety, trusted for endurance — coatings that protect people, assets and reputations across marine and rail transport.

Fire Safety and Compliance Without Compromise

In transport environments — at sea or on rail — safety and reliability are non-negotiable. Our flame-retardant powder coatings are engineered to meet the most stringent international standards, including SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea), for reaction to fire, smoke and toxicity, helping manufacturers and operators protect passengers, crew and assets alike.

HMG coatings have achieved approvals across both EU and UK fire classifications, including:

  • EN 45545 – European rail applications
  • London Underground approval – for underground and sub-surface transport
  • Marine Equipment Directive (MED) and US Coast Guard compliance

These certifications confirm our coatings deliver low smoke, minimal flame spread and controlled fume emissions — performance you can depend on when safety matters most.

Built for Harsh and Demanding Conditions

From offshore platforms and passenger ferries to rolling stock interiors and infrastructure, our coatings are designed to perform in environments that push materials to their limits. They resist saltwater corrosion, UV exposure, vibration, impact and mechanical wear, maintaining appearance and protection over long service intervals.

Supporting Sustainability and Longevity

Durability is key to reducing life-cycle cost and environmental impact. Our powder systems are solvent-free, energy-efficient and engineered to extend maintenance intervals — helping operators meet both sustainability goals and regulatory obligations.

Partnership and Technical Assurance

We work closely with shipbuilders, OEMs, and transport system suppliers across the UK and Europe to specify and validate the right solutions for every project. Our technical and compliance teams provide full documentation and traceability, ensuring a smooth approval process and continued confidence in supply.
