Wirelife® Almasol® Coating 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.

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.

Beneficial Qualitites

Durable Coating

  • Protects from water washing, exposure and acid
  • Repels dirt and prevents buildup of abrasive or corrosive particles
  • Does not drip, run or sling off during application or in use

High Load-Carrying Capacity & Smooth operation

  • Has excellent extreme pressure characteristics
  • 60-lb Timken OK load is among the highest of available wire rope lubricants
  • Prevents snatching of wire rope and sheaves
  • Protects sheaves, drums, pins and rollers from excessive wear
  • Protects against fretting wear, a major cause of wire rope failures

Rust & Corrosion Protection

  • Performs well in marine environments
  • Provides outstanding rust protection and is an excellent metal preservative for all types of equipment
  • Requires just a single application to prevent rust on steel parts in long-term storage

Wide Temperature Range

  • Performs well and remains flexible in a broad temperature range
  • Does not drip in hot weather or chip in cold

Safe & Easy application

  • Requires no heating or melting prior to application
  • Can be sprayed on with automatic equipment or hand- applied with a brush
  • Is also available in aerosol cans, which contain no chlorofluorocarbons

Proprietary Additive

LE’s proprietary additives are used exclusively in LE lubricants. Wirelife Almasol Coating Lubricant contains Almasol.

Almasol® wear- reducing additive attaches itself to metal surfaces in a single microscopic layer, yet will not build on itself or affect clearances. It possesses tremendous load-carrying capacity, is impervious to acid attack and minimizes metal-to-metal contact and the resulting friction and wear. When added to LE lubricants, it provides a level of protection available with no other lubricant.
