APPLICATION SHEET
WHEN TO APPLY
Apply Glidex® track switch agent to the switch plates, throw rods, switch stand and other moveable metal switch components on a routine basis to allow the switch to throw with ease. Depending on the activity of the switch, apply Glidex® track switch lubricant bi-weekly, monthly or as needed.
SWITCH PREPARATION
Clean or scrape off any packed up grease, graphite or other material so Glidex® track switch agent can make contact with the metal. Once the switch is cleaned, it will not be necessary to clean the switch again unless another material is put on the components. Additionally, our ICE FREE SWITCH® can be used during the winter season without any additional cleaning.
HOW TO APPLY
Once the switch is clean, brush, pour, or spray Glidex® track switch agent onto the appropriate components. Spraying is usually the preferred method as it is the easiest and quickest. Put a light even coating on the surfaces to be treated. A typical application will require about 8 to 10 ounces of product. Glidex® track switch agent can be applied to a wet switch without impairing product performance.
REAPPLICATION
As mentioned previously, a bi-weekly or monthly application should be sufficient unless your lubricating plan calls for more frequent applications. Glidex® track switch agent can also be applied on an as needed basis.
STORAGE AND HANDLING
Glidex® track switch agent is shipped in 1-gallon or 5-gallon containers or 55-gallon drums. It is not necessary to store the product inside, however, the container should be capped when not in use. We recommend using the product within one year of purchase.
