Interflon for Rail - Revolutionised fishplate lubrication without dismantling

Описание: Network Rails owns, operates and develops Britain’s railway infrastructure and maintains more than 32000 km of track.

Interflon supports Network Rail in the track maintenance. Neil Denton: "Thanks to the right advice and use of Interflon products, the time required for maintenance is greatly reduced whilst the asset performance has been significantly improved. The results are impressive."

Revolutionised fishplate lubrication without dismantling.

The steel rail expands and contracts due to variations in temperatures; the rail reaches a critical temperature before expansion occurs. To accommodate for this, a 6 mm gap is left between the two rail ends. Joints become stiff due to corrosion, old grease or over-tightened bolts. If the joint is stuck or too stiff, the track gauge will naturally widen. Recent independent laboratory testing undertaken by our rail clients has shown that their traditional greasing practices can in fact cause joints to become much stiffer than they had originally thought!

Interflon Lube EP has revolutionised the lubrication and performance of fishplates and breathers, as it is able to penetrate into all the joints without the need to dismantle them. For some regions this means months of maintenance time are saved. Once the Lube EP has penetrated, it provides a long-lasting low-friction coating, improving the joint performance and reducing the friction by as much as 91 percent.
