TOR Armor®

Biodegradable Top-of-Rail Friction Modifier

Benefits

• WEAR - Reduces or eliminates creep, hunting (also known as yaw), and corrugations.
• NOISE - Stops or substantially reduces high-pitched squeal.
• REDUCES FUEL CONSUMPTION IN CURVES – Studies have shown that using TOR friction modifiers reduce fuel consumption 3–15% depending on the radius of the curve.
• LATERAL FORCES - Greatly reduces rail damage by reducing lateral forces and angle of attack.
• QUIET - Smoother, quieter ride for transit customers.

• LONG CARRY DOWN – Will carry 3-5 miles (5-8 km).
• WIDE TEMPERATURE RANGE – TOR Armor can be used from -10°F (-12°C) to 140°F (60°C) while TOR Armor Arctic can be used from -31°F (-35°C) to 90°ׄF (32°C) which allows year-round use with one grade in some areas. In climates with both extreme high and low temperatures, a combination of TOR Armor and TOR Armor Artic can be used to achieve a temperature range of -31°F (-35°C) to 140°F (60°C).
• ADHESION - Improves adhesion on stretches of track that are prone to low friction. This can result in allowing more cars to be added.
• LOW CONSUMPTION – 300 – 425 ml per 1000 axles for freight, 175 ml per 1000 axles for transit rail.
• SAFE - contains no heavy metals, petroleum solvent or hazardous ingredients. Easily passes the OECD 301B test for “Ready Biodegradability”.
