MOLYSLIP WRL-E70 is a premium performance lubricant specifically designed to lubricate and protect steel wire ropes and umbilical cables operating in marine environments. Incorporating a
pseudoplastic thickener system MOLYSLIP WRL-E70 solves the problem of balancing penetrating properties and wash-off resistance without the unnecessary compromises of conventional greases.
Formulated from a combination of readily biodegradable base oils complimented with performance additives that are minimally toxic to aquatic organisms as such, MOLYSLIP WRL-E70 meets the definition of an Environmentally Acceptable Lubricant (EAL) and compliant with the USA EPA Vessel General Permit (VGP).
Steel wire ropes are complex in construction and are subjected to arduous operating conditions. Movement such as loading and unloading of the rope, bending and flexing over sheaves and pulleys creates high load points where wires and strands cross over each other.
This can result in fretting wear and corrosion – reducing the life of the rope. The high load carrying solids contained in WRL-E70 form a low friction barrier between the metal surfaces minimizing frictional contact and wear.
