Frozen Railway Switches? Get Ahead of Winter with TRAC NO ICE
Snow, freezing rain and ice buildup can bring railway switches to a standstill, resulting in costly delays and emergency maintenance. TRAC NO ICE Railway Ice Inhibitor offers a proactive solution to help keep switches operational through harsh Canadian winters.
Prevent Ice Before It Forms
Unlike traditional deicing methods that address ice after it has accumulated, TRAC NO ICE is designed to be applied before snow or freezing rain arrives.
Its specialized glucose-based viscosifier helps the anti-icing ingredients remain on treated surfaces, ready to activate when exposed to winter precipitation. This helps prevent ice from bonding to critical switch components.
Designed for Railway Applications
TRAC NO ICE is a water-soluble ice inhibitor developed for railway switches, switch points, plates, flangeways and other exposed rail components.
Key advantages:
-
Preventive protection: Helps reduce ice buildup before it interferes with switch operation.
-
Extreme cold capability: Manufacturer-listed freezing point of −45°F (−43°C).
-
Easy application: Apply by sprayer, brush, mop or automatic application equipment.
-
Surface retention: Glucose-based formulation helps keep the treatment in place.
-
Biodegradable: Demonstrates high biodegradability under aerobic laboratory conditions.
Available in 5-gallon pails, 55-gallon drums and bulk quantities.
Stay Ahead of the Next Storm
Frozen switches mean additional labour, equipment and potential disruptions to rail operations. Incorporating TRAC NO ICE into your winter maintenance program can help reduce the need for reactive ice removal and keep critical infrastructure ready for service.
Don't wait until your switches freeze.
