Product Description
What is TempFlex® 35 to 160 Rail Curve Grease?
ELM TempFlex® 35 to 160 Rail Curve Grease product is a premium quality biodegradable, formulated with the best optimized Biotechbased™ USA-grown natural vegetable oils and lithium-based thickener and extreme pressure additives for maximum performance. Are designed to be biodegradable, aquatically non-toxic, notbioaccumulative, and with no impact on plants as determined by known test methods. Nevertheless, the use of all of ELM products are subject to the local ordinances and ultimate responsibility for impact remains with the users.
What is TempFlex® 35 to 160 Rail Curve Grease used for?
It is designed for wayside applicators with wide temperature requirements. Pumps and carries when using wayside application equipment and grease temperature is between 35°F and 160°F. Recommended for heavy load applications such as coal trains and environmentally sensitive areas near waterways.
What are the benefits of TempFlex® 35 to 160 Rail Curve Grease?
"• Contains advanced extreme pressure additives and molybdenum disulphide to enhance the effects for unsurpassed protection from wear • Reduces friction and wear between track and wheel flange • Formulated to resist port plugging in wiping bars • Longer carry down track from lubricator • Better gauge face coefficient of friction than most petroleum-based grease • Less migration to top of rail than major petroleum-based grease • Improves fuel efficiency and superior lubricity • Higher flash point than petroleum greases for increased safety • Biodegradable formula reduces damage to the environment • Meets EPA’s Environmental Preferable Purchasing (EPP) criteria • Meets USDA’s proposed Biobased product definition for EO 13101
