Extreme-pressure (EP) compound for mounting railroad car wheels on to axles AAR Approved
WM-10 Wheel Mounting Compound™ is an extreme-pressure compound specifically formulated to press fit and mount steel railroad wheels to their axles. It provides an enormous improvement in the ease of mounting and reduces alignment problems.
WM-10 treats metal surfaces, providing improved wheel-to-axle fitting. The addition of MPC's MT-10 Metal Treatment™ to its formula also provides added lubricity and boundary film protection.
