| Cable Lube is a heavy-duty lubricant developed for the lubrication and preservation of wire ropes and cables. It is formulated with a heavy residual base oil and special rust and corrosion inhibitors, and is cut back with a volatile, non-chlorinated solvent for ease of application without heating. Its low viscosity and special wetting properties permit penetration to the core of the wire rope or cable. The solvent evaporates, leaving behind a tough, semifluid lubricant in the core and on each wire strand. Cable Lube clings tenaciously and is not readily displaced by water. It contains an effective rust inhibitor for further protection. Between treatments, lubrication is supplied from the core, which acts as a reservoir to distribute the lubricant to each wire and strand. Cable Lube reduces friction and wear between the wires and strands. The coating on the exterior of the cable protects and lubricates the cable and serves as a cushion between the cable and the sheaves or drums. This residual film remains pliable, even at low ambient temperatures. Applications: - Wire ropes and cables
- Hoists, cranes, aerial tramways
- Logging and mining equipment
- Mill machinery
- Open and semi-enclosed gears and pinions
- Guides and sliding surfaces
