Molyslip WRL-E40 is an advanced lubricant specifically designed to lubricate and protect steel wire ropes and umbilical cables operating in marine environments. Formulated from a combination of bio-based, renewable oils complemented with performance additives that are proven to be non-toxic to aquatic organisms, MOLYSLIP WRL-E40 is certified to the EU Ecolabel scheme and is therefore fully 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-E40 form a low-friction barrier between the metal surfaces minimizing frictional contact and wear.
