Application fields

Description

For many years, CONDAT has been developing biodegradable oils and greases intended for wheel-flange lubrication. Non toxic and 100% synthetic, these lubricants are applied using on-board distribution devices or fixed systems at the sides of railtracks. These lubricants provide a significant reduction in noise and wear.

Application

Bio Natur WF Oil 68 can be applied using on-board distribution devices or fixed systems at the sides of railtracks.

Product benefits

This oil has established its reputation on the market over many years and on multiple rail networks thanks to: ­

  • excellent antiwear performance to reduce wear on the rails, protect the wheel flanges and limit maintenance costs
  • very low pour point allowing it to be used even in cold weather
  • excellent adhesion of the oil to surfaces, even in rain, to limit consumption
