Wirelife™ Monolec® Penetrating Lubricant (2001)



Excellent corrosion resistance and high load wear index. 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. Wirelife Monolec Penetrating Lubricant contains Monolec, LE's exclusive wear-reducing additive that creates a single molecular lubricating film on metal surfaces, vastly increase film strength without affecting tolerances.
