Vickerlube BIO LV WRL is a biodegradable, low viscosity wire rope lubricant with a solvent component for spray application and penetration to the rope core, based on readily renewable and biodegradable base oils.
Applications: Wire ropes on quayside ship to shore cranes, container handling equipment including straddle carriers and reach stackers, marine deck and winch ropes, and all lifting and drag ropes in mining, construction, logging and bridge or waterway applications. Also protects stored ropes against corrosion.
Benefits: Penetrates between strands and down to the rope core thanks to low viscosity and solvent component, leaves a high viscosity oil film once the solvent has evaporated, de-watering characteristics that displace moisture, corrosion protection even in saltwater environments, extreme pressure resistance, biodegradable and renewable base oil for lower environmental impact in case of oil leakage.
