Grease Spraying Systems

Yes, spray lubricants are highly effective when matched to the correct application. For example, Zircon's Dry Graphite Lubricant (AAR M971-93 approved) delivers superior graphite coverage in a single pass on railroad components and metal-to-metal wear surfaces. Non-flammable aerosol formulas like De Aqua Lube also provide reliable lubrication while penetrating frozen bolts and preventing rust on tools and machinery.

For lubricant-related spray applications, Zircon offers aerosol products such as De Aqua Lube Penetrant Lubricant and Dry Graphite Lubricant – Approval M971-93. Zircon also offers automated and manual spray systems, including the Allen Bradley Automated Spray System and BZM-120AC Manual Sprayer, but those systems are primarily positioned for Liquid Heat deicer application, not grease spraying. If this page is intended to cover spray equipment broadly, the heading should be changed to reflect industrial spray systems rather than grease spraying only.

Spray-applied lubricant products are used in railroad maintenance, industrial manufacturing, construction, automotive servicing, and general maintenance. Dry Graphite Lubricant – Approval M971-93 is especially relevant for railroad switches, couplings, autotrack equipment chains and tracks, hinges, thread lubricants, gaskets, and metal-to-metal wear surfaces. De Aqua Lube supports general maintenance tasks such as loosening frozen nuts and bolts, drying wet electrical systems, and preventing rust.

Zircon's Allen Bradley Automated Spray System supports up to 3 fully automated spray points and uses an Allen Bradley PLC with a 7-inch touchscreen interface, but it is positioned for Liquid Heat deicer application, not grease spraying. For grease or lubricant automation, customers should contact Zircon Industries to confirm whether the product and spray equipment are suitable for their specific application.

Aerosol cans offer portability and controlled application for spot maintenance tasks, smaller components, railroad switches, fasteners, hinges, and metal-to-metal wear points. Bulk formats such as gallon cases, pails, and drums are better suited for larger railroad or industrial maintenance programs. Electrical parts should be cleaned with contact cleaners such as ZL98 or dielectric solvent cleaners such as Z99, not lubricant sprays.

Safety and handling depend on the product. De Aqua Lube is a non-flammable aerosol lubricant that dries wet electrical and ignition systems, penetrates frozen nuts and bolts, and helps prevent rust. Dry Graphite Lubricant – AAR Certified M971-93 Lubricant is intended for metal-to-metal wear surfaces and railroad maintenance applications. Electrical cleaners such as Z99 and deicers such as Liquid Heat should be covered on their own category pages. Customers should always review product labels, SDS materials, and application guidance before use.
