Products
Here is a list of our products. We can custom design a product to meet your requirements. Please contact us for additional information.
B-10 Block Grease
is a solid lubricant for economical and highly efficient lubrication of side rods and journals of old steam engines. It was formulated for the lubrication of open bearings that are subject to heavy weight pressures and high temperature conditions of conducted heat from outside sources. It can also be used on side roads and wrist pins.
Carbonless Air Compressor Oils
are specially designed for reciprocating compressors to eliminate damage that carbon deposits can cause in these air compressors. Most oils will form very hard carbon deposits, which can cause extensive damage and loss of performance. Any trace amount of carbon formed from Carbonless Air Compressor Oils is of a very soft fluffy nature and is easily blown away, with the air discharge, leaving no damage to valves or rings, resulting in longer trouble free operation. They are available in a wide range of viscosities. Most units use the # 30 or # 40 grade but some units with direct injection into the cylinder head use the # 20 grade.
Cinn-Bio Rail Curve Grease L – 100
is a biodegradable, eco-friendly, rail curve grease formulated with a biodegradable vegetable oil, a lithium soap thickener and a high level of high purity synthetic graphite. It contains no hazardous chemicals or chemicals containing volatile organic compounds (VOC). This unique formulation contains additives to enhance the load carrying ability of its biodegradable base fluids boundary lubricant properties. It contains a high level of synthetic graphite to provide added lubricity from graphite’s superior load carrying capabilities. Its combination of fluid and solid boundary and EP lubricants allows for excellent load carrying capability and wear protection.
Dry Moly Lubricant
is a non-chlorinated, long lasting, dry film lubricant & coating for extreme temperatures & pressures which is particularly suitable for dirty or dusty environments. Reduces friction & wear. Inert to water, oil, alkali, and some acids. Leaves a dry lubricating surface.

Formula 1605 Vehicle Cleaner
is designed for use in both automatic and manual systems for exterior washing of passenger cars, trucks, buses, railcars, subway cars, etc. Formula 1605 is a mild alkaline powder with outstanding cleaning and rinsing properties. It is formulated for rapid penetration and emulsification of all types of soils and includes special rinse aid-wetting agents to assure a complete non-streaking rinse.
Formula 2028 Liquid Steam Cleaner
is a heavy duty, multi-purpose, liquid alkaline cleaner concentrate formulated for use in high pressure hot water or steam cleaning equipment to remove heavy deposits of dirt, grime, oil and grease. The convenient liquid form allows it to be proportioned directly from a drum using an eductorsystem, or it can be easily premixed in a tank.
Formula 2600 Multi-Purpose Cleaner
is a synthetic concentrate that cuts your inventory because it replaces all your special cleaners. It is easy and economical to use because you add and adjust the water level depending on the soil load. Formula 2600 quickly penetrates dirt, grease, grime, etc., and holds it in suspension for easy removal. It cleans everything from floors to greasy plant machinery. It is excellent for steam cleaning and safe on painted surfaces when diluted as directed. It can be applied by steam cleaner, spraying, brushing, mopping, or wiping. Rinse with water or wipe clean with damp cloth. On heavier soil, allow solution to soak and penetrate, but not to dry before rinsing or wiping clean.
Four Way Action II
An all purpose, non-flammable, non-conductive mechanic’s spray. Penetrates through rust and corrosion to loosen frozen nuts and bolts. Displaces moisture in wet electrical systems. Leaves treated surfaces protected with residual anti-corrosive film.
Interlube Automatic Slack Adjuster Grease
meets AAR Specification M949.
Interlube M-914-S
meets the AAR specification M-914 for use as a brake cylinder lubricant. It is approved by WABCO for WABTEC applications and by other manufacturers of railroad equipment for their applications. It meets the old AAR M-914-83 specification, is compatible with it, and exceeds its requirements for low temperature performance and some other areas. It also meets the requirements of the 2003 version of the AAR M-914 specification.
Interlube Railroad Diesel Engine Oil SAE 40-G5-T17
is a high performance railroad diesel engine oils specially designed for Generation III and Generation IV engines. They meet the requirements for Alco, GE and GM-EMD engines and are zinc free to prevent corrosion of silver bearings. They are formulated using high quality, highly refined base stocks and incorporate rust and oxidation inhibitors, anti-wear and anti-foam agents, detergents and dispersants. The SAE 40 grade is the most popular but they are available in other grades if desired. These oils have a 17 TBN to assure extended life and allow long life even with higher sulfur fuels. This 17 TBN formulation has been shown, in diesel engine tests, to greatly reduce deposits compared to lower TBN products.
Journal Guard AYG
meets AAR specification M-963-84 for all year grade journal oil and is designed to help railroads reduce costs incurred in storing equipment for extended periods of time. Journal Guard AYG is specially formulated to improve its adhesion to the metal surfaces and resist run off from journals stored for long periods of time. Provides excellent rust and oxidation inhibition to reduce bearing surface damage. The distinctive red color identifies Journal Guard AYG and aids in tracing leaks.

It is designed to give superior lubrication over a very wide range of conditions. The combined effects of moly and other extreme pressure agents give reduced wear and increased load carrying ability. M502 Grease holds up where conventional multipurpose greases fail.
MT Gear Lubricant
is a traction motor gear lubricant designed for traction motor gearboxes on railroad diesel engines of all types. It was specially designed to lubricate the higher horsepower output per axle, traction motor drive units, developed by GE and EMD. This formulation is a non-leaded product to avoid the environmental problems associated with handling and disposal of leaded products. Even though it was developed for “newer” traction motor units, it is applicable to all older units, which called for the products that contained leaded EP additives. It incorporates a unique combination of lithium soap thickeners and very heavy, high viscosity, oils and additives. This combination provides long life protection to the gears and resists leakage from the gear case. It is packaged in convenient one-pound poly bags, which can be directly inserted into the gearbox.
