Wire Rope

  • Wirelife™ Monolec® Penetrating Lubricant (2001)

    Excellent corrosion resistance and high load wear index. 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. Wirelife Monolec Penetrating Lubricant contains Monolec, LE's exclusive wear-reducing additive that creates a single molecular lubricating film on metal surfaces, vastly increase film strength without affecting tolerances.

  • Wirelife™ Almasol® Coating Lubricant (2002)

    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.

    In addition to its primary function as a coating, it also provides moderate penetration - depending on the tightness of tolerances and the temperature when applied. It contains a petroleum solvent to enhance its ability to penetrate. The solvent evaporates, leaving behind a self-healing, nontacky, protecting film that is highly resistant to wash-off from both fresh and salt water. Wirelife Almasol Coating Grease contains Almasol, LE's exclusive wear-reducing additive that is attracted to metal surfaces, forming a microscopic layer but not building on itself or affecting clearances.
