PRODUCTS      EQUIPMENT
                        

Glidex®
A synthetic fluid that effectively lubricates track switch components. Since it is non-watersoluble, it resists being washed off by rain. This product typically lasts twice as long as other lubricants such as petroleum greases and graphite.

Gravity Plus®
An organic-based synthetic anti-sticking agent that is applied to hopper cars to prevent and eliminate raw materials from sticking to the railcar skin. 

Ice Free Switch®
An anti-icing agent that is applied to railroad switch points, plates and rail prior to snow or ice storms. It will remain in place to activate when needed to melt falling and blowing snow and prevent switches from freezing.

Zero Gravity Third Rail®
An Anti-Icer/De-Icer that prevents snow and ice build-up on electrified third rails.
