Wirelife® Almasol® Coating Lubricant (2002)
Product Description
Self-Healing Fluid Seals & Protects Surfaces
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, non-tacky, protecting film that is highly resistant to wash-off from both fresh and salt water.
Beneficial Qualities
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

Proprietary Additives
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.
