All about lubrication: Switch point lubrication

Switches are one of the most important elements of rail-borne transport. That´s because they enable a change from one track to another and thereby provide the innately rigid rail system with the necessary flexibility and versatility. At the same time, switches are among the structural parts of a railroad that are subject to the most exacting and sensitive demands. If they didn´t function reliably a smooth-running train service would hardly be possible.

The challenge is to make switches work effectively and reliably in all weather conditions. A key factor is the switch lubricant with long-term effect, good adhesive strength and corrosion protection. This not only ensures easy and predictable setting regardless of the ambient temperature, but also allows for long-term re-lubrication, even where frequency of use is low.
