Whitmores EZ Switch Clear Performance Lubricants

Performance Lubricants

EZ Switch Clear is a biodegradable lubricant that facilitates easy movement of the switch and eliminates the possibility of operator injury due to stiff switches. It also helps ensure the switch goes fully into position, reducing the risk of derailment. Switch lubricants that rely on graphite are dirty to work with and leave permanent stains in clothing. EZ Switch Clear has the advantage of being non-staining to hands and clothing. It is inherently biodegradable per the test method OECD 301B. The hydrocarbons are not readily biodegradable, but since they can be degraded by microorganisms, they are regarded as inherently biodegradable. EZ Switch Clear can be applied by pouring, brushing, or spraying. No special spraying equipment is required. Any brand of pump-up weed sprayer can be used. On some sprayers it may be necessary to remove the nozzle or open it up using a drill. Completely cover the switch with a thin layer of lubricant.
