VICKERLUBE LV WRL

Part no: 25963

VICKERLUBE LV WRL is a mineral oil-based wire rope lubricant with a solvent component primarily intended for spray application and to assist with penetration into the rope core

The low viscosity allows lubricant to penetrate between the strands of the rope providing complete rope lubrication. Once the solvent evaporates a high viscosity oil is left in-situ.

VICKERLUBE LV WRL is formulated to suit applications where high levels of corrosion and moisture are a concern.

The fluidity helps to ensure that the rope strands are well lubricated, reducing internal wear caused by the metal-to-metal contact occurring when the wires slide or bend around a drum or sheave. Corrosion is prevented by displacing moisture and forming a thin barrier of continuous lubricant film protecting against the elements.

Product Data Sheet
Brochure

Can be used on wire ropes to protect them while in storage against corrosion. It can also be used to effectively lubricate operational wire ropes that are static or moving, against wear and corrosion.

Applications include: 

  • Quayside ship to shore cranes
  • Container handling equipment including straddle carriers and reach stackers
  • Marine Deck and Winch ropes
  • All lifting and hoist ropes in mining and construction industries
  • All static and guy rope applications typically found on bridge and waterway applications
  • Lift and drag ropes used in logging and forestry applications
