In the railway industry, friction modifiers is a catch all term for a wide range of products applied for different purposes which has led to confusion. It is hoped that recently published definitions will aid industry to a better understanding of the different products and how they function. The benefits of friction modifiers are well understood with a large body of research supporting the benefits. Comparatively, there is a lot less knowledge of the optimum amount of product to achieve the benefits or how far down the track from an application site the benefit will be see...
