Rail operations are challenged with maintaining the flow of railcars, snow/ice removal, providing a safe area for passengers and a safe work environment for employees. We provide solutions for facility maintenance, timely unloading of railcars, and solutions for other types of freezing problems. Winter weather is the largest contributing factor to operational problems, from walkways and steps freezing to frozen coal and ballast.
Our products are designed specifically for winter storm operations. Each product was developed to provide superior performance and results. Over the past 33 years, these products have been developed in our state-of-the-art laboratory to produce results in the most challenging winter conditions.
Each rail product is manufactured with unique properties and is developed for specific applications. To see more information, technical specifications, articles and bulletins, environmental data and success stories on these products, make a selection on the products below:
Freeze Free®
Freeze-Free® is a freeze conditioning agent that is sprayed onto coal or other raw materials before loading into hopper cars and results in easy unloading in severe winter conditions. It is a clean burn, and will not contribute to either hot or cold-end corrosion. Freeze-Free® also works well to de-ice frozen ballast.Enviro-MLT™
Enviro-MLT™ is a potassium acetate that is an environmentally friendly, non-toxic, non-corrosive de-icing and anti-icing agent. It is equally effective in melting ice as it is in preventing the formation of ice. For this reason Enviro-MLT™ can be used in many ice control applications.ENVIRO-MLT™ DD
Enviro-MLT™ DD is a solid spherical pellet deicer. It is anhydrous grade sodium acetate that provides a non-corrosive, environmentally friendly alternative to salts and calcium chloride. Acetates are safe for the environment because they are readily biodegrade and exhibit low toxicity to vegetation and aquatic life. Enviro-MLT™ DD melts immediately after being applied. It can be used to de-ice roads, parking garages, walkways and steps. It is the product of choice to prevent concrete spalling.Ice-Fyghter D™
IceFyghter D™ is non-chloride, non-corrosive, diethylene based winter agent that eliminates coal and material handling problems caused by ice glazing and fines build-up on conveyors, chutes or hoppers. It melts ice quickly and prevents ice from forming.
