WIRE ROPE LUBRICANT
WIRE ROPE LUBRICANT
WIRE ROPE LUBRICANT is a high quality lubricant formulated to offer long-lasting lubrication and anti-corrosion protection for wire ropes working in all conditions, including in the most severe environments.
Application
Apply sparingly – a brush can be used, but preferably by spray – do not over-apply. Developed primarily for the lubrication and protection of ropes, drag lines, hoists, mobile cranes, dockside and ships’ crane ropes where a sprayable lubricant is the preferred option. Designed to penetrate between rope strands by capillary action to provide integral internal and external lubrication and corrosion protection even in the most adverse wet conditions, including salt water environments.
For best results, apply to clean ropes. If this is not an option, then apply WIRE ROPE LUBRICANT over the previous lubricant to soften it, then sparingly re-apply after working the rope for one week to ensure complete penetration.
Benefits
- Exceptional internal and external protection and lubrication to extend rope service life.
- Incorporates dewatering properties, enabling application to wet ropes.
- The addition of a solid lubricant dramatically reduces wear between rope strands.
- Leaves a thin film which eliminates fling-off and does not collect abrasive particles.
- Ropes are left clean to handle for easier inspection.
- Very economical to use due to excellent coverage properties.
