Acoustical Ceiling Tiles Plant - sailormatlac - 09-10-2016 Hi, I'm actually researching an acoustical ceiling tiles plant in my area. I found documents from the plant describing the raw materials used to manufacture their product. Until the the 80s, they were rail served. Among the materials is wax emulsion. Unfortunately, my searches led me nowhere and I could find info about this material being carried by rail. Anybody ever heard of wax emulsion transported by rail? If yes, let me know, I'm a little bit curious.

Wayne Re: Acoustical Ceiling Tiles Plant - MountainMan - 09-11-2016 As far as I can find out, either by truck tanker or rail tanker, or these days by pipeline in some instances. it would make the most sense for you to use rail tankers, it appears. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://images.slideplayer.com/1/248212/slides/slide_11.jpg">http://images.slideplayer.com/1/248212/ ... ide_11.jpg</a><!-- m --> <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.braithwaiteindia.com/railimage/rail_tank03.jpg">http://www.braithwaiteindia.com/railima ... tank03.jpg</a><!-- m --> Re: Acoustical Ceiling Tiles Plant - sailormatlac - 09-11-2016 MountainMan Wrote:As far as I can find out, either by truck tanker or rail tanker, or these days by pipeline in some instances. Excellent! It confirms my gut feeling. Thanks guys! Matt |
