904 Grease NLGI 1
Efficient performance calcium grease
![]()
904 Grease NLGI 1 is an efficient performance smooth calcium soap grease, formulated with 12% graphite for curved rail lubrication.
Applications
- The frictional forces developed by steel train wheels rolling on rails, combined with the steering forces exerted by the rail rubbing against the wheel increases energy consumption and accelerates the wear of both wheel (tread and flange) and rail. This can be a serious problem, particularly for systems operating heavily loaded unit trains or tracks having numerous curves. Proper lubrication of the rail at critical locations may contribute to significantly lower maintenance costs and help increase fuel efficiency
- 904 Grease NLGI 1 is used extensively in automatic lubricators located at the side of the rail such that the wheel flange picks up the grease and spreads it on the side of the rail
- 904 Grease NLGI 1 can also be recommended where a graphite grease is required such as on brake cables, springs, door handles, slides, guides, chains, screws, cams, rack and pinion sets in industrial applications
- It can also be used in sawmills, plywood presses and chain tracks
- Equivalent: Chevron Curve grease CPS nr 253469 & Texaco 904 Grease (NLGI 0-1)
Customer benefits
- Helps prevent metal-to-metal contact between wheel flange and rail, maintaining wear resistance
- Assists extensive and even lubrication cover along rail sides
- Contributes to noise reduction on curves
- Aids lubricity performance for improved fuel economy
- Suitable for a wide variety of track and wheel lubricator systems
