Grease is a solid or semi-solid lubricating oil. It is usually comprised of mineral oil and thickeners such as calcium-based soap and lithium-based soaps. Greases may also contain additional lubricating particles, such as molybdenum disulfide, graphite, or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Grease possesses characteristic feature such as high initial viscosity, which make it frictional. It is popularly used across various industries such as automobile, railway, construction, pharmaceutical, food & beverage, mining and numerous others. For rails, greases can be used in mechanisms where lubrication is required frequently and where a lubricating oil does not stay for long. Grease acts as a sealant to avert ingress of water and incompressible materials. Grease is also being used for maintenance of various rail elements such as railway axles & wheels, bearings & chains, brake elements, interior components, pantographs and railway track components, as it prevents entry of contaminants or loss of lubricant. Soft grease used in gearboxes, for noise reduction, as leakage resistant, and for suspension of solid additives. Greased components consumes a small amount of power and is an even less vulnerable impact to any wear tear damage. Thus, the regular maintenance activities of different parts used in railway transportation is expected to create a significant demand for rail greases in the coming years, which is further anticipated to drive the rail greases market.
