Environmentally Acceptable Lubricant designed for use in Wire Rope applications
Vipers EAG-2 Environmentally Acceptable Lubricant (EAL) is an environmentally friendly, synthetic, high-performance lubricant designed for Wire Rope Applications. While many EAL lubricants sacrifice performance and durability to meet regulatory requirements, ViperWRL’s EAG-2 delivers uncompromised protection for all lubricated components.
EAG-2 is the premium choice for operators who need outstanding equipment protection while meeting demanding environmental requirements. Designed for use in environmentally sensitive areas, EAG-2 is ideal for industries such as marine, mining, ports, rail, construction and heavy industrial operations where lubricant leakage or wash-off may impact surrounding ecosystems. The advanced synthetic formula, combining renewable base oils with calcium sulfonate complex thickener, is biodegradable, non-toxic, and non-bioaccumulative.
This environmentally responsible design allows operators to reduce environmental risk without sacrificing lubrication performance or equipment reliability.
EAG-2 delivers exceptional extreme-pressure protection, outstanding anti-wear performance, and a wide operating temperature range. It also provides excellent rust and corrosion protection and outstanding resistance to water washout and spray-off. This is especially critical for wire ropes in harsh marine environments where equipment is exposed to wet and highly corrosive conditions.
Why use EAG-2 to lubricate your wire rope
- Strong extreme pressure and anti-wear protection and high load-carrying capacity
- Excellent mechanical stability: Resists shearing and loss of consistency after prolonged rolling and working of
the grease. - Outstanding resistance to water washout and spray-off: Stays in place and resists displacement by water immersion and spray, critical in harsh marine and wet environments where grease loss can quickly lead to wear and unplanned downtime.
- Exceptional corrosion and rust protection: Helps prevent internal damage to equipment from chemical
attack. - High thermal and oxidative stability: Supports longer service life and cleaner systems.
- Wide operating temperature range – Helps equipment run reliably in both hot and cold conditions.
- Eco-friendly: Readily biodegradable grease with low toxicity to aquatic organisms, formulated with renewable raw materials. Contains no MOSH or MOAH.
