Wirelife® Monolec® Penetrating Lubricant (2001) has excellent corrosion resistance and high load carrying (EP) properties. 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.
Beneficial Qualitites
Superior Penetration
- Penetrates to the core of wire rope and to the pin and bushing area of chains
- Provides long-lasting lubrication of inner strands of wire rope
High Load-Carrying Capacity & Friction Reduction
- Contains extreme pressure (EP) additives
- Works well for heavily loaded standing or running wire ropes
- Resists fretting wear, a major cause of wire rope failures
- Provides wear-reducing protection between strands and over sheaves or drums
- Allows strands to slide against each other with greatly reduced friction, wear and heat
Rust & Corrosion Protection
- Performs extremely well in marine environments
- Resists water washout
Provides outstanding rust protection and is an excellent metal preservative for all types of equipment
Versatility
- Works well with wire rope, cables and chains, as well as in many other applications requiring a penetrating lubricant
- Meets USDA H2 criteria for nonfood contact areas of food processing
Easy Application
- Can be dipped, sprayed on with automatic equipment or hand-applied with a brush
- Is also available in aerosol cans, which contain no chlorofluorocarbons
