Typically, graphite calcium soap greases have been used, with the grease acting mostly as a carrier for the graphite. With increasing traffic densities and higher tonnage trains, excessive rail and wheel wear has been found with conventional rail curve greases. GALENA MOLY EP grease was developed to meet the need for improved products to cope with today's changing conditions.
GALENA MOLY EP grease is formulated with a calcium soap grease containing a low viscosity oil. This naturally low pour point oil was selected to provide satisfactory performance and pumpability for Canadian weather conditions throughout the year. In addition to synthetic graphite, it contains molybdenum disulphide, a solid lubricant with even better load-carrying characteristics. It also contains an effective antiwear additive which provides the high level of extreme pressure properties shown by the typical Timken Test OK load of 20 kg. It resists waterwashing and has the excellent "carry" and spread characteristics needed for long curves.
GALENA MOLY EP grease is manufactured from high quality petroleum base stocks, carefully blended with selected additives. As with all petroleum products, good personal hygiene and careful handling should always be practiced. Avoid prolonged contact to skin, splashing into the eyes, ingestion or vapour inhalation. Please refer to our ESSO Material Safety Data Sheet for further information.

GALENA* MOLY EP grease is a rail curve grease that have been used for many years to reduce the rail and wheel wear which occurs on sharp curves. It offers the following features and benefits:
Pumpable over a wide temperature range
Resistant to water washing
Excellent carry and spread performance
Provide a long lasting film of lubricant.
Applications: GALENA MOLY EP grease is recommended for use as a rail curve lubricant, particularly in areas where high traffic density, heavy trains and long
curves make conventional greases inadequate.
