LUBEGARD Wire Rope Lubricants are patented, aquatically non-toxic & biodegradable. They contain a unique blend of corrosion inhibitors, thickeners and wear reducers. Both are ideal for all types of wire ropes and chains in a variety of services and environments.

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.

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.

Typical Applications: Wire rope, chain links, pins, bushings, cable sheave bushings, cables, open and closed silent and roller chains, and small, slow-turning gearboxes that require a semifluid lubricant

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.

Wire Rope Dressing is manufactured from high quality petroleum base stocks, carefully blended with selected soaps and additives. It is designed as a field dressing for drum hoist ropes and is equally recommended for rope lubrication on shovels and drag lines.

At ambient temperatures between -40 °C and +50 °C, wire ropes are protected by a tenacious film that adheres firmly to the rope. Fling-off and sling-off are virtually eliminated so lubricant consumption and housekeeping concerns are minimized. Wire Rope Dressing is formulated using non-asphaltic base stocks which minimize peeling, cracking and flaking off in cold weather. The formulation is also designed to ensure complete coverage of the rope while preventing excessive lubricant buildup.

Wire Rope Dressing is formulated using mineral base oils blended with molybdenum disulfide and solid graphite lubricant. Crown wires retain a tough, cohesive lubricant film even after passing over the sheave and idler wheels or the hoist drum. The cohesive nature of Wire Rope Dressing also contributes to reduced fling off and sling off while in service.

Wire Rope Dressing offers exceptional water resistance. Moderate amounts of water can be absorbed by the grease with little or no change in NLGI penetration. In field tests, the majority of shaft water seen was in the form of beads on the surface of the lubricant.

Wire Rope Dressing is recommended for application either by split-box, pressurized canister or spray method onto hoist drum wire ropes in underground mining, dragline or electro-mechanical shovel operations. Always protect Wire Rope Dressing from contamination with dust.
