Rapid cleaning of steel rail surfaces to remove organic leaf contamination, which can cause wheel adhesion issues, insulation failures, and track circuit failures.
Removes oxidation and rust from steel rail surfaces.
Creates friction on the rail to prevent train wheel slip.
Removes heavy break dust and organic matter from speed board signage.
Submerge steel parts in a bath to remove heavy corrosion.
Product Application
Interflon LeafGuard® is a unique solution for the autumn's weather challenges. This quick-acting (1-2 minutes) cleaner does not require rinsing or wiping. It self-cleans and leaves behind a micro layer that is reactivated by rainwater and moisture, keeping the surface clean for longer. Leaves on the track will no longer cause problems!
The cleaner is safe to use on steel, rubber, plastic, and reflective coatings. It can also be safely used around cabling, insulators, pads, and speed board signage.
LeafGuard® reduces the time spent cleaning the railhead, which helps to reduce delays to passenger travel, allowing seasonal teams to focus on other tasks, like restoring track circuits.
Advantages:
Ready-to-use or can be diluted with water.
Rapid activation time and results.
Re-activation layer is left behind.
Long-lasting results.
Will not affect paint, rubber or plastic.

Consultant for Network Rail
Thanks to the right advice and use of Interflon products, the time required for maintenance at Network Rail is greatly reduced whilst the asset performance has been significantly improved. The results are impressive. With Interflon, a marked improvement on switch throw and detection time, reduced OPEX costs to maintain the assets, spending less time on track. MicPol® reduces friction and energy when throwing a switch by as much as 50%."
