Less Maintenance, Longer Protection: Ultra Green Switch Plate Lubricant
Keeping railway switches properly lubricated is essential to reliable operation. Traditional lubricants can require frequent reapplication, increasing maintenance costs and labour demands.
Ultra Green Switch Plate Lubricant, available through Backtrack Railway Services, offers a long-lasting, biodegradable alternative designed to reduce friction, protect against wear and extend maintenance intervals.
Longer-Lasting Lubrication
Ultra Green is a synthetic lubricant formulated with extreme-pressure and anti-wear additives. Its advanced formulation adheres to metal surfaces and resists moisture, dirt and harsh weather conditions.
Ultra Green can extend lubrication intervals by 4–5 times compared to graphite and first-generation switch lubricants, helping reduce routine maintenance requirements.
Built for Extreme Conditions
With a published operating temperature range of −51°C to 204°C (−60°F to 400°F), Ultra Green is designed for year-round performance in demanding railway environments.
Key advantages:
-
Extended maintenance intervals: Manufacturer-reported 4–5 times longer service intervals compared to conventional graphite lubricants.
-
Wear protection: Extreme-pressure and anti-wear additives help protect moving components.
-
Excellent water resistance: Displaces moisture and resists rust and corrosion.
-
Biodegradable formulation: A synthetic alternative to traditional switch lubricants.
-
Easy application: Spray directly onto switch plates and points using suitable application equipment.
-
Versatile use: Suitable for manual and automatic switches, crossing gates, couplers, chains and cables.
Available in 1-gallon and 5-gallon containers and 55-gallon drums.
Spend Less Time Lubricating, More Time Operating
Frequent switch lubrication takes valuable maintenance resources away from other priorities. Ultra Green's long-lasting formulation offers railway maintenance crews an opportunity to reduce reapplication frequency while maintaining protection against friction and wear.
Make the switch to longer-lasting lubrication.
