[ Industry description ]

Graphite lubricants and components for tracks, wheels, and railway equipment.

The railway sector uses graphite mainly for high-wear lubrication in outdoor conditions. A stable dry film reduces wheel–rail friction and mechanism wear without relying only on conventional oils.

ESGRAF recommends the graphited lubricant and application method based on the contact point, load, and maintenance cycle.
