rocol wire rope dressing factory

High performance semi-fluid wire rope dressing grease providing excellent corrosion protection in multiple environments including saltwater and under water.

Features Pseudo Plastic Rheology; It is a black gel, however, it is designed to transform into a fluid consistency under shear to aid penetration into the core of the rope. It will then return to a grease consistency when shear is removed ensuring that the lubricant resists dripping, fling and water wash off.

A tenacious, semi-fluid, non-melting grease designed for complete lubrication and corrosion protection on most types of wire ropes, particularly in hostile conditions.

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.
