RAILMARK LAUNCHES TWO NEW ECO-SAFE PRODUCT LINES
NEWS RELEASE – (Wixom, MI) – May 10, 2012
Railmark Holdings Inc. announced today that it has launched two new product lines designed to
make the railroad industry a little more “Green” and a little more “Efficient”.
Railmark’s new RAILheat™ products utilizes a new Far Infrared (FIR) technology that is safer for the
environment and extremely energy efficient. RAILheat™ products are designed for preventing
freezing in railroad equipment and operations. Railmark now offers (a.) heating panels for crossing
gate mechanism boxes; (b.) heating panels for maintaining heat on locomotives and other
equipment; (c.) heating wraps for pipes and water tanks in passenger cars and locomotives; (d.)
heating for locomotive seats; and (e.) passenger car electric heating systems. RAILheat™ products
are lightweight, utilize 95% of its energy source for heat conversion, have a 50,000 hour operational
life and are safer for the environment because they do not contain metal, do not put off any emissions
or sound, and efficiently uses power. This technology has successfully heated locomotives and rail
equipment in Russia’s Siberian territory. The Company believes that this technology is the answer to
freezing water systems in passenger cars and will economically prevent failures in crossing gates due
to freezing weather. RAILheat™ products are available in 24 Volt DC and 110, 240 and 480 Volt AC
with varying wattages.
The Company’s Railmark Track Works Inc. subsidiary is the exclusive supplier to the railroad
industry for a new line of premium quality bio-based, biodegradable rail curve and switch lubricants
that exceed all others on the market today. Ultralube® brand railroad lubricants are manufactured
from renewable USA-grown crop based oils. These products have four times more lubricity than
petroleum-based greases and oils while offering better performance for rail lubricators and switch
components and improve safety for employees and the environment. These new products meet
EPA’s Environmental Preferable Purchasing (EPP) criteria and are ECO-SAFE and Non-toxic.
Mr. B. Allen Brown, Railmark President & CEO comments, “We are excited to launch these ECOSAFE products to the railroad industry that will improve operations and reduce our carbon footprint.
The promotion of these products coincide with our slogan and commitment to delivering A New Train
of Thought….®. These products bring immediate solutions to the railroad industry in areas needing
of change. Railmark continues to invest in research and development and looks forward to additional
ECO-SAFE product launches continuing through this year”.
