Lubricants for railway

The series consists of: 

RailLub 90/05, RailLub 90/09 and RailLub 90/15. The solids content and a slight difference in consistency are different.

RailLub 90/15 is suitable as rack rail lubricant.

The series was developed to reduce the roll and slide friction that occurs between the wheel flange and rail sides during the operation of rail vehicles under extreme pressure loadings and to significantly reduce the wear.

Even at low dosages forms a strongly adhering lubrication film that is taken up and transferred by subsequent wheel action. A wheel – rail – rail -wheel spreading effect takes place.

The products are not thrown off the wheel flange at high speeds. The long-term separation and lubrication film does not bind together with dust, brake wear particles or other contamination.

The RailLub 90/series is winter resistant and can be applied to -30°C.

RailLub TS-2-1 consists of chemically handled, synergetic acting solid lubricants. It prevents squeaking noises from the sides of the rail in bends. For use in stationary installations.

Thanks to its extraordinary adhesive force, a thin film is sufficient to exclude binding with dirt and dust. The action of wheels rolling over the rail, distributes the film evenly for the very long distance.

When used in stationary lubrication systems are no air pockets in the product due to the automatic filling of the container.

HeadLub is a high-pressure lubricant compound containing selected, chemically treated, solid lubricants. Through its affinity (tendency) and ionic carrier agent, it accelerates the surface smoothing of the „soft-metal pairings“ between the top of the rail and the wheel surface. Wear and friction are thereby reduced to a minimum.

HeadLub immediately and successfully eliminates the annoying squeaking in bends. Thanks to its extraordinary adhesive properties, even a very thin application provides long-term protection. HeadLub produced a dry surface coating with an in-depth effect that also adheres to wet rails over long periods and has a water-repellent effect. The adhesive film is evenly distributed over a length of 100 – 200m by subsequent wheels.

HeadLub is winter resistant and can be applied to -30°C.
