Trackside Curved Rail Grease
For over 25 years, RS Clare has led the way in the manufacture of curved rail grease. As the UK’s leading supplier, we’re the partner of choice for Network Rail, London Underground and most of the country’s light rail networks.
Engineered to the specific challenges encountered in application
Now expanding into markets around the world, RS Clare is fast becoming the name most associated with advanced and effective curved rail protection. Our curved rail grease achieves outstanding performance through focused research, development and engineering towards the challenges experienced at the wheel/rail interface. These challenges include:
- Temperature range
- Humidity
- Environmental protection
- Load carrying requirements
- Maintenance intervals
Our curved rail lubricants
ClareTech Supreme
A non-toxic, readily biodegradable curved rail grease for application via trackside lubricators, formulated with extreme pressure and anti-wear additives for enhanced performance capabilities.
Metro Bio Grease
A readily biodegradable curved rail grease, Metro Bio Grease is designed for use in underground metro and subway networks and offers enhanced safety features, including enhanced fire/smoke resistance and low fume toxicity.
ClareTech Rail King
Our most economic curved rail grease, designed for use in trackside lubricators wherever there is a need for high performance and consistent delivery over a wide temperature range.
ClareTech Rail King (HL)
A high performance, excellent value, multi-season curved rail grease for trackside lubricators designed for high traffic networks and heavy axle loads, particularly Class I railroads.
Our EcoCurve range curved rail lubricants
ClareTech EcoCurve Trackside
ClareTech EcoCurve Trackside is an environmentally friendly, high performance curved rail lubricant appropriate for use in all types of trackside lubricators. Designed to protect the gauge corner, ClareTech EcoCurve Trackside is also suitable for lubricating switchblades and check rails.
ClareTech EcoCurve Heavy Haul
ClareTech EcoCurve Heavy Haul is a premium gauge face lubricant for application via trackside lubricators. Specially formulated to provide enhanced lubrication and protection for curved rails over long distances where heavy loads and high volumes of traffic require an extreme performance, all-seasons curved rail grease.
ClareTech EcoCurve High Mobility
ClareTech EcoCurve High Mobility is a unique and innovative curved rail grease designed specifically to provide increased pumpability in trackside applications where there are greater distances between lubricators and grease dispensing units (GDU) than typically encountered, for example narrow tunnels or bridges.
Friction Management Systems
Following our acquisition of railway lubrication solutions provider, Igralub Holding GMBH, RS Clare offering is now extended to include Friction Management systems.
Specialist Solution
The first to design a specialist solution to wear reduction at the wheel-rail interface, our range has grown to offer a comprehensive selection of highly advanced greases that work with all types of lubricator technologies. Since the application of curved rail grease is a total loss system, we take our environmental responsibility very seriously, and have developed a range of biodegradable, non-toxic greases.

Case Study
The tight radius curves at St Pancras Station have long caused issues with noise and garnered complaints from the local residents. After discussions with our technical sales manager, ClareTech Supreme was recommended and successfully trialled. Now, it's used in all of their lubricators and continues to manage the noise issue.
Meeting the highest eco standards
Engineered to EU Ecolabel standards, our unique technology EcoCurve range offers unrivalled environmental performance.
