Maintenance of our capital’s underground transport system is an ongoing process. With constant ongoing improvements throughout the network and high volumes of foot traffic, the logistics of maintenance projects undoubtedly involve considerable attention to detail.
Add to this the fact that any paint or coating used within the busy underground environment should not only be of a quick-drying nature but also non-flammable.

London Underground Line Marking

Promain supplies a range of line marking paints designed for use on Railway Platforms for above and below-ground applications, some suitable for use on London Underground platforms. The paints found in this section are durable, quick-drying, and non-flammable, conforming to Section 12 regulations.


The area is subject to extremely high levels of wear and tear from foot traffic. Often, many coatings take time to dry and cure for the restricted working window imposed by station closure times. In any industry, coating floor areas is extremely challenging, with thousands of people walking from A to B every day. Because of this, it's extremely important that floors are prepared and coatings applied in the best possible way and with the highest level of care.


The Line Marking Paints Promain supply for the rail industry offers a high level of abrasion resistance; some are fast drying and low to no odour, as well as being resistant to weather and floor cleaning chemicals, making them ideal for application to areas which will be exposed to harsh elements and endless amounts of foot trafficking.

Here at Promain, we offer a range of floor paints approved for use in areas such as Network Rail Service Sheds on the floors, pits, and pit walls.
