ClareTech Rail King
Rail King is a high performance, all-season rail curve grease designed for application via trackside lubricators positioned at critical points along the railway track to lubricate the gauge corner of rail curves and minimise wear at the wheel/rail interface.
Delivering consistent performance
Rail King has been extensively trialled in the field and is proven to deliver consistent performance across a wide range of temperatures and offers excellent adhesion to the gauge corner for maximum lubrication and protection.
Widely used on light rail, metro and commuter lines, Rail King is an NLGI 1.5 grease that is also suitable for high traffic networks and heavy axle loads. This grade is also available as Rail King HL (High Load) which includes extra extreme pressure additives for very heavy axle loads.
Features and benefits
Rail King is our most economical curved rail grease and focuses on delivering cost savings through it’s high performance capabilities, without the eco-credentials of our EcoCurve range of curved rail lubricants. The features and benefits of Claretech Rail King include:
- Clean to use, minimal fling-off
- Determined to be 'inherently biodegradable' in accordance with OECD 301B Ultimate Biodegradability Test
- Enhanced anti-wear performance
- Superior corrosion protection
- Excellent adhesion to gauge corner
- High load protection with high EP properties
- Suitable for a wide range of trackside lubricators and grease delivery units (GDU's)
- Will not migrate to top of rail
Flange lubricants - 12 key performance criteria
For a flange lubricant to meet the challenging needs of customers it must be able to extend the life of assets and reduce maintenance costs. To satisfy this performance criteria the curved rail grease should possess these key characteristics.

Case Study
This light rail network were experiencing problems with grease ports blocking. A track engineer contacted RS Clare to discuss our available options for a higher-performance grease that would help to decrease the maintenance time wasted unblocking grease bar ports, and at the same time improve the carry down and most importantly protect the rail.
