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 anti-icing agent is also effective for:
Crossing arms
Signals and lenses
Car couplers
Doors and 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 anti-icing agent helps prevent derailments because the snow will not pack and form ice in the gaps.
