Spanjaard Wire Rope Dressing LQG-X 180kg

A semi-fluid wire rope dressing designed for easy application and rope penetration which resists fling-off and water wash-out. Contains no solvent diluent.

APPLICATION:

• Wire Ropes are a much abused though essential part of mechanical equipment.
• They are often exposed to abusive conditions e.g. salt water, rain, dust and extreme fluctuations in temperature and tend to be infrequently lubricated due to inaccessibility.
• The traditional lubricants are solvent diluted bitumen based products.
• This type of product does not penetrate the wire rope as effectively as Spanjaard Wire Rope Dressing LQG-X. Furthermore, the lubricating film cracks or chips because it sets hard.
• Developed as a superior wire rope lubricant to overcome the disadvantages of conventional wire rope lubricants.
• It is a semi-fluid extremely tacky product containing molybdenum disulphide and other solid lubricants, corrosion inhibitors, water repellent and anti-fretting additives.
• Penetrates right into the core of the rope, which then acts as a lubricant reservoir.
• The flexing of the rope as it comes under strain and passes over pulleys, encourages the feeding of lubricant between the strands, so that each is covered by a thin tenacious
  film.
• The MoS2 and other solid lubricants in this film remain in place under the very heavy loads, greatly reducing wear and prolonging rope life.
• Prevents lubricant fling-off during use and greatly improves the water wash-off resistance of the product.
• Penetrates the core of the rope and remains as a flexible film preventing internal as well as external corrosion.
• Finds application in the centralised or manual lubrication of chains, guide ways, spindles and conveyors.

HANDLING & STORAGE:

• Store under cover with lid closed.
• Use protective handling equipment if continuous contact with the product is envisaged.
• Remove excess from skin and wash with Spanjaard Hand Cleaner followed by soap and water.
