Glidex® track switch agent is used for lubrication of railroad switches, slide plates, throw rods, movable bridges, overhead crane rails, couplers and more!
Glidex® is non-flammable, non-corrosive, safe to use and provides long-term effectiveness. Glidex® is not water soluble and therefore cannot be washed away by rainfall or melting snow.
Glidex® is a specially formulated synthetic lubrication that is quite fluid, yet remains in place once it becomes "static". This "flowability" enables Glidex® to be easily applied by brushing, pouring, or spraying with a handsprayer. The treated surface is environmentally friendly and will not stain surrounding surface areas. It provides an adherent barrier that will keep metal components continuously lubricated and offer protection against mild ice formation. Dust and dirt will not build-up onto the treated areas and it will not "harden" with age. Ideal protection during wet weather or in inherently wet locations with poor drainage.
Glidex® is a better lubricant than other methods such as oil and liquid graphite because it stays on switches much longer. Depending on how often switches are used, a Glidex® treated train switch can operate from one week to months before another treatment. Other lubricants, oils or greases need more frequent applications requiring crews to reapply lubricants more often. In addition, other methods need to be diluted.
