Switch & Point Lubricant
Low-temperature synthetic grease for switch blades, points and change mechanisms
Synthetic ester or PAO base grease for lubrication of switch blades, heels and point change mechanisms in railway turnouts. Formulated to operate at extreme temperatures (−40°C in continental climates) without losing fluidity, ensuring correct blade movement under the forces of the change system. Resistant to washout by rain and snow. Compatible with automatic centralised turnout lubrication (SKF, Lincoln). Meets requirements of network managers (Adif, DB Netz, Network Rail, SNCF).
