ICE FREE SWITCH
ID: #592690
Description
15.Ice Free Switch® works as an anti-icing agent. When applied to railroad switch points, plates and rail prior to snow or ice storms, it will remain in place to activate when needed to melt falling and blowing snow and prevent switches from freezing. Ice Free Switch® is also effective for: Crossing Arms Signals & Lenses Car Couplers Doors & Chutes Movable bridges Flangeways Tunnel walls Hump switches Overhead crane rail Preventing ice from forming and lifting the rails off the tie plate, altering the gauge Ice Free Switch® helps prevent derailments because the snow will not pack and form ice in the gaps Benefits include, but not limited to: Works Better Than Rail Heaters At Severe Temperature Prevents Switches From Re-Freezing Down to -70°F Holds Fast to Vertical Surfaces & Remains In Place Defies The Effects Of Rain, Snow, Wind & Gravity Maximizes Safety Conditions For Passengers Prevents Snow From Packing Between Rails Helps Prevent Derailments At Flangeways Safe To Use/Environmentally Friendly Non-Flammable/Non-Corrosive Throw Switches On Command Efficient & Economical to Use Ice Free Switch® winter operating switch agent is the original anti-icing agent for track switches. ICE FREE SWITCH® is a pre-treatment to be applied before the risk of snow or ice. By applying it on the plates, points, throw rods, stands and flangeways, it puts a barrier coating on the metal. Falling or blowing snow will melt on contact. The type of snow, (wet or dry) determines how much snow can be melted. Any accumulation beyond the point that the application can melt, will only be a non-freezable slush that will not impact throwing the track switch. ICE FREE SWITCH® is applied by spraying or brushing onto the surface. It is recommended to apply prior to any snow event, (hours or days before) to protect the switch from freezing. ICE FREE SWITCH® is more economical than switch heaters, smudge pots and safer than open flames or fires to clear a frozen switch. Also by preventing the ice from forming (anti-icing) it is easier and requires less maintenance than the cost associated with opening a frozen switch. The product is non-corrosive, non-conductive, aids lubrication and is bio-degradable. Zero Gravity “Smart Fluid” Ice Free Switch® utilizes a NASA “Smart Fluid” technology called Zero Gravity™, co-developed by NASA /Ames Research Center. When a small amount of this (non-corrosive, biodegradable substance) is sprayed onto the switch plate area or rail it produces a thin film. Its viscosity reverts to high “zero” shear or static viscosity which enables it to stay in place. Ice Free Switch® remains in place to be triggered hours, days or weeks later by sleet, rain or snow. It prevents moisture from becoming ice in the switch plate area. Especially in remote areas. ICE FREE SWITCH SDS Looking for larger quantities? 55 Gallon drums available – call today 513-533-7070!
