Environmentally-friendly lubricant
NSP-WFL reduces the coefficient of friction, minimizes wear of wheel flanges and rail, while saving fuel and limiting noise.
Our NSP-WFL solid lubricants, designed specifically for the railway industry, offer a range of environmentally-friendly lubrication solutions to meet the demands of modern rail networks. Manufactured primarily from renewable soy and corn extracts, these lubricants not only minimize the environmental impact but also provide superior performance and durability.
Green Benefits:
- Sustainable Sourcing: By utilizing renewable and biodegradable soy and corn extracts as the primary ingredients, NSP-WFL lubricants contribute to a sustainable supply chain and reduce dependence on non-renewable resources.
- Reduced Emissions: With lower volatility and less emissions compared to traditional petroleum-based lubricants, NSP-WFL solid lubricants support cleaner air quality around railway facilities and trackside communities.
- Minimized Environmental Contamination: The biodegradable nature of NSP-WFL lubricants ensures that any accidental spillage or leakage will have minimal impact on surrounding ecosystems, preventing soil and water pollution.
Applications in the Railway Industry:
- Rail Curves: NSP-WFL lubricants are suitable for rail curve greasing, reducing friction between wheel flanges and rail heads, and preventing excessive wear on both components. This ensures smooth and efficient train operations while reducing maintenance costs.
- Metro Cars: The high-performance characteristics of NSP-WFL solid lubricants make them ideal for lubricating metro car wheels, ensuring reliable and safe functioning of the rolling stock.
- Trams: NSP-WFL lubricants can be used to protect and prolong the life of tram wheels, promoting optimal performance and reducing the risk of costly equipment failure.
- Freight Locomotives: NSP-WFL solid lubricants are effective in reducing friction and wear of freight locomotives’ wheels, contributing to extended service life and enhanced safety in hauling operations.
- Shunting locomotives: NSP-WFL lubricants provide excellent lubrication for shunting locomotives, ensuring smooth operation and reduced wear on various locomotive types.
By adopting our NSP-WFL solid lubricants in the railway industry, operators can improve the performance, reliability, and safety of their networks while also demonstrating a commitment to environmental stewardship.

Testimonials
SIEMENS Mobility Sp. z o.o.
“At the moment, the fleet of Siemens INSPIRO vehicles that is operating on the Warsaw Metro lines is equipped with NSP-WFL solid stick wheel flange lubrication system offered by AW Solutions.”
SIEMENS Mobility Sp. z o.o.
Rail Polska Sp. z o.o.
“After a two-year period of use, we observed a considerable (about 40%-50%) decrease in the pace of the wear of wheel flanges compared to locomotives not equipped with the lubrication system.”
Rail Polska Sp. z o.o.
WISKOL Sp. z o.o.
“We declare that, using solid stick wheel flange lubrication system [NSP-WFL] extended the longevity of wheel sets by nearly 50%.”
WISKOL Sp. z o.o.
Freightliner PL Spółka z o.o.
“We declare that [NSP-WFL] solid sticks can be successfully used for wheel flange lubrication in locomotives’ wheelsets, diminishing thereby their wear.”
Freightliner PL Spółka z o.o.
Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways
“We have been using […] 300mm long applicators with interlocking soy sticks […] for over a year and we have been very pleased with the results with a marked reduction in wheel flange wear where the applicators have been fitted. We will be extending their use over the next few years.”

DB Cargo Polska S.A.
“Performed observations revealed much lower consumption of the [NSP-WFL] sticks for lubricating the wheel flange as against to currently used. ”
DB Cargo Polska S.A.
DCT Gdańsk SA
“The applied layer of lubricant stays resistant to weather conditions and it is not removed from the metal surfaces after precipitations. The soybean oil-based sticks characterize themselves with lower wearing at steel wheels surfaces than the graphite sticks.“
DCT Gdańsk SA
Express Rail Link Sdn Bhd
“The consumption of [NSP-WFL] solid lubricants is 46.2 % lower compared to currently used”
Express Rail Link Sdn Bhd
JSC „Lietuvos geležinkeliai“
“Conclusions: the consumption of [competitive] solid lubricants is 2.6 times greater than [NSP-WFL].”
JSC „Lietuvos geležinkeliai“
PKP CARGO S.A.
“From above, it emerges that on locomotives subjected to observation, the wear of […] soy sticks was about 50% lower than of the competing provider.”
PKP CARGO S.A.
„PKP Intercity” Spółka Akcyjna
“In the following weeks, wear of the [NSP-WFL] sticks were already two times lower and amounted to approx. 15-20mm per week (10mm / 4300km).”
„PKP Intercity” Spółka Akcyjna
“Przewozy Regionalne” sp. z o.o.
“Performed operations have shown a few times lower consumption of the lubricant for wheel
flanges (about 20mm/10 000km) compared to the previously used.”
