Without bitumen. Sustainable rail solutions.
When trains glide quietly through the landscape and everything runs smoothly, it is easy to take it all for granted. BECHEM Synth WF 460 delivers precisely this sense of safety and peace of mind in operation. Quietly working in the background, yet powerful in its performance. Reliability is the top priority in railway operations. Extreme operating conditions place high demands on wheel flange lubricants, which have traditionally often relied on bitumen-based formulations. BECHEM Synth WF 460 offers a sustainable alternative that perfectly combines high performance with environmental responsibility, without compromising on protection or functionality.

For Demanding Conditions in Railway Operations
Schonend für Umwelt und Material
High humidity, significant temperature fluctuations and frequent contact with water are part of everyday railway operations. BECHEM Synth WF 460 remains stable under these conditions and provides reliable protection against corrosion. Even after seven days, the lubricating film remains evenly distributed, protecting against flaking and corrosion on both large and small metal surfaces, as well as on exposed wheel flanges and wheel surfaces. In areas subject to particularly high stress, the lubricating film partially regenerates itself, ensuring consistently high levels of protection even during continuous operation.
MATERIALVERTRÄGLICHKEIT & VERSCHLEISSSCHUTZ
Der Verschleiß ist deutlich geringer.
NBR seals are not adversely affected, and their material properties remain intact. Tests even showed improvements in tensile strength and elongation at break. This protects components, extends maintenance intervals and reduces downtime. The advantages over bitumen-based oils become particularly evident under high loads, such as in tight curves or when wheel flanges are subjected to significant stress. Wear is considerably reduced, positively impacting service life and operating costs.
Reliable in Operation. Practical and Sustainable.
The light, transparent appearance and barely perceptible odor create a more pleasant working environment and allow easy visual inspection during application. BECHEM Synth WF 460 is biodegradable in accordance with OECD 301 B. It can be easily applied using centralized spray systems, providing a solution that is both sustainable and practical.
