The precise interaction between wheel and rail is crucial for the safe operation of rail vehicles. Our high-quality lubricants play a leading role by ensuring friction-optimized wheel-rail contact. Malfunctions or failures in the lubrication can have a direct impact on driving safety.
Our comprehensive and sustainable product portfolio includes applications for wheel flange lubrication, top of rail friction management and stationary trackside rail flank lubrication.
Our products LOCOLUB ECO PLUS and GLEITMO RFL ECO offer advantageous versatility: they are not only suitable for the wheel flange and the rail flank, but also for noise reduction on the running surface.
