Shell GadusRail S2 Wheel Flange Grease 1 is a lithium soap thickened grease made with highly refined base oils, a special EP additive package and 3% molybdenum disulfide. The molybdenum disulfide acts to enhance anti-wear and load carrying properties, which are critical for the transport of railcars over the track. A highly shear stable tackifier improves grease adhesion to track surfaces and helps prevent oil bleeding. This grease also offers good resistance to the mechanical shear associated with trackside lubricator operation. Though all greases can be used for winter and summer applcations, Shell GadusRail S2 Wheel Flange Grease 1 has shown to be very pumpable and to carry especially well on the track in cold weather. It is suitable for cold weather (winter) applications.

N/A Product Maintenance - Trackside and wheel lubricators require routine maintenance for proper long-term operation. Seals must be kept in good condition to prevent leakage and lubricator nozzles should be kept clear so that they apply the correct spray pattern. |
