Heavy haul curved rail lubricant
EcoCurve Heavy Haul is a premium, high performance gauge face lubricant suitable 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.
The RS Clare EcoCurve range of curved rail lubricants has been formulated with >70% renewable content to satisfy the world’s most demanding eco-credentials. It’s never been more important to select an environmentally friendly lubricant, ensuring minimum impact on the aquatic environment and soil in surrounding areas during use, with particular focus on the biodegradable and non-bio accumulative elements in the lubricants. EcoCurve Heavy Haul goes a long way towards reducing your carbon footprint whilst boosting sustainability.
Features and benefits
- Extreme service curved rail grease delivering high load protection with superior EP properties ideally suited to freight networks and Class I railroads
- Biodegradable and non-bio accumulative rail grease that is suitable for use near rivers and watercourses
- Contains >70% renewable content
- High adhesion to the rail enabling excellent carry down performance for increased rail protection
- Corrosion inhibitors provide enhanced corrosion protection to reduce defects and provide lasting protection
- Specially formulated grease thickeners increase the lubricant's stability and enhance its performance in all-seasons
- Oxidation stable grease formulation to ensure it does not dry out or stiffen so as to avoid blocking lubricators and GDU ports

Complex viscosity vs. temperature for all seasons curved rail grease
EcoCurve Heavy Haul curved rail lubricant is a premium quality, high-performance grease specially formulated for the heavy rail traffic of Class 1 railroads and freight rail networks.
The Rheology profile below compares the complex viscosity against temperature for ClareTech EcoCurve Heavy Haul (blue) and a more conventional rail grease (red). The flatter profile of the blue curve shows that the all-seasons EcoCurve Heavy Haul grease is much more stable across a wide temperature range, meaning it will pump more consistently, not cavitate in the reservoir and it will form more a consistent bead structure on the GDU (Grease Delivery Unit). You can see that the conventional rail grease (red) is more viscous at temperatures below 0°C but then quickly softens as the temperature reaches 20°C and beyond, meaning it could be difficult to pump in the winter and perhaps too soft to form good bead structures in the summer, resulting in inconsistent performance across the changing seasons.
