Castrol Molub-Alloy 902 SF Wire Rope Lubricant may be applied manually. However, application by automatic spray equipment is recommended. For best coverage and penetration, wire rope should be sprayed on all sides, which requires a minimum of two nozzles opposing each other.

Castrol Molub-Alloy 902 SF Wire Rope Lubricant is intended to provide safe operation through longer service life of wire ropes while reducing total lubrication and maintenance costs. The naturally flexible and adhesive film provides the required persistence to assure also protection of sheaves and drums without excessive application.

Bio-E.P.™ Wire Rope Lubricants are ultimately biodegradable vegetable oils formulated with antiwear, extreme pressure (EP), antirust, oxidation inhibitors, and a tackifier. They provide a light waxy-tacky coating, and are recommended for lubricating multi-strand cables and wire rope wound around central cores of steel or fiber, which are subject to heavy loading and/or shock loading. These biobased products provide improved fire resistance over equal viscosity petroleum products and contain no chlorine, zinc, or heavy metals. Performance is enhanced by use of the Stabilized HOBS’s natural vegetable oil composition, which provides an oily boundary film. In addition, this oily film has a natural polarity to metal surfaces and helps clean and then penetrates deep into the inner core of the cable preventing rust and wear. The super high viscosity index of the Stabilized HOBS adds additional lubrication qualities to this high performance lubricant. Laboratory and field tests have shown that the products provide exceptional protection with excellent low temperature pumpability.View More Products

Proper lubrication of your wire rope, chain and cable can safely extend its operational life regardless of application. Cranes, elevators, shovels, drilling rigs, suspension bridges and draglines are some of the many applications that use wire rope, chain or cable to perform work such as pulling, dragging or hoisting. These applications often are exposed to harsh environmental conditions, including extreme weather. Lubrication Engineers can help your wire rope, chain and cable last longer and operate safely by implementing a lubricant reliability program and recommending the right lubricants for the job.

Most wire ropes are lubricated during the manufacturing process, but this lubricant will not last the entire life of the rope. When looking for a lubricant to relubricate your wire rope, choose one that contains no acids or alkalis, possesses the adhesive strength to stay on the rope, can penetrate between wires and strands, has high fluid film strength, resists oxidation and remains pliable. It is important to remember that most wire ropes fail from the inside out. Corroded rope can be a safety hazard, as there is no way to determine its remaining strength and life. Proper lubrication will help prevent deterioration of wire rope due to rust and corrosion.

Because most wire ropes fail from the inside, it is critical to ensure the center core receives sufficient lubricant. LE recommends a combined regimen in which a penetrating lubricant is used to saturate the core, followed by a coating lubricant to seal and protect the outer surface. LE offers several penetrating and coating type wire rope lubricants to suit your specific needs.

Penetrating lubricants contain an evaporative solvent that facilitates migration of the lubricant into the core of the wire rope, then evaporates, leaving behind a heavy lubricating film that protects and lubricates each strand.

Wirelife Almasol Coating Grease (451-453) is a soft, semifluid calcium-based grease designed to coat wire rope as well as moving chain and cable parts to ensure long life and smooth, quiet operation. Its tacky, water-resistant characteristics enable it to adhere strongly to rapidly moving parts, seal out damaging moisture, protect against premature wear and shield metal against corrosive attack.

Wirelife Almasol Coating Lubricant (2002) is a fluid wire rope lubricant that provides a tough outer coating to seal and protect against fretting corrosion, wear and rust – even under extreme load and moisture. It seals and protects better than any product available. When used in conjunction with Wirelife Monolec Penetrating Lubricant, maximum protection and wear reduction is achieved.

Wirelife Almasol Syn Coating Lubricant (2022) is an extremely tacky, nonasphaltic synthetic lubricant with exceptionally high film strength. Perfect for extreme environments and conditions, it is the ultimate outer surface protector for wire rope and cable and comes from the same advanced technology that LE developed to protect large open gears in the mining and quarry industries. It derives its high load-carrying capacity from its synergistic blend of an extreme pressure additive and Almasol, LE’s exclusive wear-reducing additive.

Wirelife Monolec Penetrating Lubricant (2001) has excellent corrosion resistance and high load-carrying (EP) properties. It penetrates to the core of wire ropes, whether they are running or stationary. It is also excellent as a penetrating lubricant for chains of all sizes and works well in a variety of other industrial applications. When used in conjunction with Wirelife Almasol Coating Lubricant, maximum protection and wear reduction is achieved.

It contains a petroleum solvent to enhance its ability to penetrate. The solvent evaporates, leaving behind a film of heavy-bodied lubricant that protects and lubricates each strand and resists leakage from the wire rope core. Available in bulk sizes or in an aerosol version.

Typical Applications: All stationary or moving wire ropes or cables under heavy loads; chains of all sizes; mining and construction applications such as standing and running lines, draglines, cranes and derricks; marine applications such as cranes, hoists and drilling rigs; any other application that requires excellent rust protection for steel parts.

Designed for marine environments and other applications where environmental concerns require the use of a very low toxicity wire rope and chain lubricant, LE’s Wirelife Low Tox Penetrating Lubricant (2011) has excellent load-carrying capability and provides outstanding protection against rust, while having the lowest possible toxic effect on the environment.

ASV RL1 is a highly adhesive,semi fluid extreme pressure grease for lubrication and corrosion protection of wire ropes and steel cables operating under adverse conditions of load,temperatures or environment.It penetrates rapidly through wire rope strands to leave a completely water resistant heavy duty lubricating film which provides both internal as well as external lubrication & corrosion protection.The solid lubricants prevent wearing and premature damage of internal strands and increase the life of the wire ropes.ASV RL 1 forms a protective and lubricating water proof film over the surface which does not emulsify even if submerged in water.

This product is a semi-fluid wire rope lubricant designed to meet the lubrication and corrosion prevention requirements of wire ropes working under all conditions. Typical application areas are dockside and ship crane ropes, drag lines, hoists and mobile cranes.

Wire Rope Lube will penetrate between the rope strands to provide integral lubrication and to provide both internal and external protection against corrosion caused by wet, adverse weather conditions and sea water.

The Chain and Wire Rope Lubricant is a heavy duty high temperature and pressure lubricant that penetrates chains, cables, and wire rope to deposit a wear resistant coating. The foam spray clings to the surface penetrates and coats leaving a Molybdenum and extreme pressure lubricant on the inner surfaces. This two in one lubricant both penetrates into the core of the wire rope , evaporates and leaves behind a heavy lubricating film to protect and lubricate each strand and with a second coating penetrates slightly and seals the outside from moisture reducing wear and corrosion.

The Chain and Wire Rope Lubricant can be used on conveyors, hoist chains, link and roller assemblies, rail equipment, mining equipment, road and construction machinery, cutter bars, material handling equipment, chain saws, etc.

Lubricating with the aid of brushes, rags, gloves, or by other means is costly, risky, and ineffective. The lubricant forms a film on the surface which water vapour can penetrate, thus becoming trapped. Temperature changes cause condensation and rust then begins to form from the inside. A wire rope can appear to be in good condition, when in fact corrosion and friction are destroying it from the inside. Its useful life is shortened and it becomes potentially dangerous. Even factory lubricated wire rope requires regular relubrication.

Only the Masto Lubricator penetrates under high pressure all types of wire rope, such as Non-rotating, Dyform, and Locked Coil with heavy grade lubricant. NB. To obtain total penetration through a compact rope the pressure must be minimum 20 bar (285 PSI) in the chamber. Even wire rope subjected to severe surface wear will have a longer life when lubricated with the Masto. Stainless steel, galvanized, and other special types of wire rope require just as much lubrication since friction is the same and corrosion can also occur.

If you start using the MASTO Lubricator, the best results are obtained with the highest quality Wire Rope Grease. If you use SWEPCO 150 Wire Rope Grease your wire ropes will be protected in an optimum way.

An impressive load wear index of greater than 75 and 4-ball weld load of 800 kg demonstrate the superiority of SWEPCO 150’s industry leading extreme pressure and anti-wear protection. The result is significantly longer service life for wire rope and wire rope system components.
