VICKERLUBE BIO WRL is a solvent free, biodegradable wire rope lubricant.
It is formulated using readily renewable and biodegradable base oils and is suitable for applications where lubricant contamination and environmental issues are a concern.
The fluidity helps to ensure that the rope strands are well lubricated, reducing internal wear caused by the metal-to-metal contact occurring when the wires slide or bend around a drum or sheave. Corrosion is prevented by displacing moisture and forming a thin barrier of continuous lubricant film protecting against the elements.
VICKERLUBE BIO WRL is designed for use on wire ropes in applications where biodegradability is a concern or a necessity.
Can be used on wire ropes to protect them while in storage against corrosion. It can also be used to effectively lubricate operational wire ropes that are static or moving, against wear and corrosion.
Applications include:
FEATURE | BENEFITS |
Biodegradable and renewable | Lowers environmental impact, benefits corporate responsibility |
Low viscosity | Lubricates between rope strands |
De-watering characteristics | Displaces water, leaving a thin lubricant film |
Corrosion protection | Increases rope and cable life even in salt water |
Wear resistant | Protects ropes and cables against wear, increases life |
Extreme pressure resistance | Maximises component life in all load conditions |
VICKERLUBE BIO WRL can be applied manually or by spraying.
