Wirelife® Monolec® Penetrating Lubricant (2001)

Product Description

Tacky Grease Resists Water, Protects Moving Parts

Wirelife® Almasol® Coating Grease is a soft, semifluid formulation designed to coat wire rope as well as moving chain and cable parts to ensure long life and smooth, quiet operation. Its tacky, water resistant characteristics enable it to adhere strongly to rapidly moving parts and to seal out damaging moisture. Available in three NLGI grades, Wirelife Almasol Coating Grease contains Almasol, LE’s exclusive wear-reducing additive that protects against premature wear and shields metal against corrosive attack.

Beneficial Qualities

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

Proprietary Additives

LE’s proprietary additives are used exclusively in LE lubricants. Wirelife® Monolec Penetrating Lubricant contains Monolec.

Monolec® wear-reducing additive has proven its extraordinary performance in thousands of applications. An invaluable component in LE’s engine oils, industrial oils and many of its other lubricants, Monolec creates a single molecular lubricating film on metal surfaces, vastly increasing film strength without affecting tolerances. It allows opposing surfaces to slide by one another, greatly reducing friction, heat and wear.
