Air Line Antifreeze Lubricant for Railroad Operations

Alcohol-based deicers can corrode pneumatic valves, degrade seals, and harm air line components over time, while also offering no lubrication benefit. Zircon Industries' non-alcohol formula protects these critical components from damage while simultaneously providing extreme-pressure lubrication, making it a safer and more effective long-term solution for railroad pneumatic systems exposed to cold weather.

The X831 Chill Kill is designed for use in railroad operations to prevent air line freeze-up in train pneumatic systems, including brakes and valves. It also serves industrial manufacturing, mining and quarrying, and construction equipment environments — anywhere pneumatic tools, air-powered equipment, and air line systems are exposed to freezing cold-weather conditions.

Yes. Zircon Industries' air line antifreeze lubricant holds AAR Certified M-971-93 approval, which is a recognized railroad industry certification. The product is also GSA Canadian Compliant, and Zircon Industries is an NSSGA (National Stone, Sand and Gravel Association) member, reflecting its credibility across railroad and industrial maintenance sectors.

The X831 Chill Kill can be applied using standard air line lubricators (oil reservoirs) or a conventional oil can, allowing it to integrate seamlessly into existing railroad maintenance routines. No specialized equipment is required, which reduces labor time and ensures consistent, reliable delivery of the lubricant throughout the pneumatic system.

Yes. X831 Chill Kill is available in 330-gallon totes and tank quantities, with a minimum order of 1,500 gallons, making it well-suited for large-scale railroad and industrial maintenance programs. For pricing, availability, and volume-order guidance, contact Zircon Industries at 800-547-4328.
