Whitmore TOR Armor Biodegradable Top-of-Rail Friction Modifier 19.5KG/Drum

Whitmore TOR Armor Biodegradable Top-of-Rail Friction Modifier 19.5KG/Drum

Overview

Whitmore TOR Armor is a water-based biodegradable top-of-rail friction modifier that holds the wheel-rail coefficient at 0.3-0.4, switching to positive friction during creep to cut noise, wear, corrugation and lateral forces. Whitmore TOR Armor is solvent-free, passes OECD 301B, carries 3-5 miles and saves 3-15% curve fuel on freight and transit railways.

Description

Whitmore TOR Armor is a revolutionary water-based biodegradable top-of-rail friction modifier (TOR FM) composed of water, plant-based oil and additives, engineered to hold the wheel-rail friction coefficient between 0.3 and 0.4. During normal rolling it acts as a lubricant; when wheel creep occurs the sliding friction immediately converts to positive friction, controlling creep and restoring healthy rolling motion, which substantially reduces noise, high-frequency squeal, wear, corrugations, vibration and lateral forces. It contains no solvents, latex or toxic materials, passes the OECD 301B ready-biodegradability test, will not harden in holding tanks or applicator ports, and will not corrode steel components. It dries quickly through frictional heat without affecting braking or tractive effort, with a typical carry-down distance of 3-5 miles and curve fuel savings of 3-15%. TOR Armor works from -12°C to 60°C (Arctic grade to -35°C) and is applied through trackside applicators on freight and transit railways.

Applications

  • Positive-friction control: holds the wheel-rail coefficient at 0.3-0.4, lubricates in rolling and converts to positive friction during creep.

  • Noise and wear reduction: cuts high-frequency squeal, corrugations, vibration, wear and lateral forces.

  • Biodegradable and safe: water-based with plant oil, no solvents, latex, heavy metals or toxic ingredients; passes OECD 301B.

  • Equipment friendly: does not harden in tanks or applicator ports and does not corrode steel components.

  • Long carry-down: typically carries 3-5 miles (5-8 km), reducing the number of applicators needed.

  • Operating efficiency: does not affect braking or tractive effort and can reduce curve fuel consumption by 3-15%.

  • Year-round grades: standard grade from -12°C to 60°C; TOR Armor Arctic extends use from -35°C to 32°C.
