Exceptionally long-lasting Rail Switch Point Lubricant

Lube EP (Rail)

  • Highly recommended by leading rail track operators.
  • Doubles, triples or even quadruples point lubrication intervals.
  • Eliminates the requirement of cleaning and safely extends lubrication intervals to up to a month.
  • Decreases lubrication labor costs and lubricant consumption rates.
  • Drastic reduction in point failures.
  • Reduced lateral forces on the track with considerably less load on switch machines.
  • Proven results on thousands of sets of points over many years.
  • A very different approach to point lubrication with proven, repeatable cost savings.

Product Applications

Extreme performance rail switch point lubricant fortified with MicPol®. It has exceptional resistance to the weather and contamination conditions typical for rail point applications. It is designed to make rail networks safer, cleaner, more reliable, and more cost-effective.

The fluid goes on wet and creeps over the slide chair to displace water and penetrate under the switch rail, into the switch heel, and other inaccessible areas. It cleanses and breaks down corrosion, old grease, and other deposits.

At the same time, the product forms a highly durable lubrication film that virtually eliminates wear while repelling moisture, brake dust, sand, and other abrasives. It is virtually impervious to sunlight, rain and temperature changes.

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%."
