Railroad Lubricants
Rail Curve Lubricants
Each year, railroads incur significant costs grinding and replacing rails due to the enormous friction at the rail-wheel interface. By reducing the friction at the rail-wheel interface, Whitmore's rail curve lubricants:
- Reduce wheel flange and rail wear
- Extend rail and wheel life
- Reduce fuel consumption
- Reduce wheel squeal
All Whitmore rail curve lubricants work in wayside and hi-rail lubricators and are available in summer and winter grades to ensure year-round performance.
BioRail®
A biodegradable rail curve lubricant, BioRail proves that you don't have to compromise performance in order to be environmentally responsible. BioRail has proven itself, not only in the laboratory, but where it counts - on the rail. Its stable chemistry ensures that it pumps in the coldest climates and stands up at the wiping bar in all weather conditions. Rail carry exceeds eight miles under most conditions, and BioRail stays on the rail even during heavy rain.
Railmaster®
Available in three versions, Railmaster lubricants provide unsurpassed performance and rail protection. All Railmaster products contain robust anti-wear and extreme pressure additives that extend rail-wheel life. In addition, Railmaster products provide outstanding lubricity that reduces locomotive fuel consumption. These lubricants have excellent low temperature pumpability and long carry down.
- Railmaster LF
Whitmore's #1 selling rail curve lubricant, features a high concentration of the wear-reducing solid lubricant molybdenum disulfide to maximize rail wear reduction. - Railmaster LFG
Whitmore's newest rail curve lubricant, uses fine particle graphite and other solid lubricants to provide the same performance as Railmaster LF. - Railmaster
Whitmore's original rail curve lubricant, continues to protect rails on three continents.
Switch Plate Lubricants

Offering a tough, durable and long-lasting shield of protection, EZ Switch goes on easy, forms a protective coating on the switch plate, resists rain, and stops wear. EZ Switch can be applied to wet switches, and it won't wash off.
EZ Switch® Spray
A dry film lubricant specially formulated to provide a tough, durable, long-lasting shield of protection under any weather conditions. Contains graphite, the preferred lubricant for switch plates.
BioSwitch™
BioSwitch offers the benefits of other switch plate lubricants with the added advantage of being biodegradable. By forming a protective layer of solid lubricants, BioSwitch protects switch plates from unnecessary wear.
