Advanced protection of Overhead Line Equipment
Interflon
IceGuard®
Interflon IceGuard® is a cutting-edge coating and lubricant designed specifically for overhead line equipment in railway systems. Utilizing advanced MicPol® Technology, this innovative solution dramatically reduces ice, rime, and hoarfrost formation on catenary wires, ensuring reliable rail network performance during winter conditions.
By preventing ice formation and reducing electrical current interruptions, Interflon IceGuard helps railway operators minimize maintenance work, reduce cable breakages, and improve overall network reliability.
Key Benefits
- Enhanced network reliability: Significantly reduces train delays and electrical contact failures
- Preventive protection: Creates a semi-transparent, ultra-thin coating that prevents ice adhesion
- Easy application: Can be applied automatically using specialized equipment
- Environmental consideration: 95% biodegradable with low environmental impact
- PFAS-Free
Application method
Interflon IceGuard should preferably be applied using the Interflon IceGuard machine, a container-like structure mounted on trains with a telescopic arm that automatically sprays the lubricant at speeds of 50-60 km/h. This ensures a homogeneous, thin layer on catenary wires, making ice and frost easier to remove by pantographs.
