Self-Healing Fluid Seals & Protects Surfaces

Wirelife® Almasol® Coating Lubricant (2002) is a fluid wire rope lubricant that provides a tough outer coating to seal and protect against fretting corrosion, wear and rust - even under extreme load and moisture. It seals and protects better than any product available. When used in conjunction with Wirelife Monolec® Penetrating Lubricant, maximum protection and wear reduction is achieved.

In addition to its primary function as a coating, it alsomore

  • Protects sheaves, drums, pins and rollers from excessive wear
  • Protects against fretting wear, a major cause of wire rope failures
Rust & Corrosion Protection
  • Performs well in marine environments
  • Provides outstanding rust protection and is an excellent metal preservative for all types of equipment
  • Requires just a single application to prevent rust on steel parts in long-term storage
Wide Temperature Range
  • Performs well and remains flexible in a broad temperature range
  • Does not drip in hot weather or chip in cold
Safe & Easy application
  • Requires no heating or melting prior to application
  • Can be sprayed on with automatic equipment or hand- applied with a brush

Proprietary Additive

LE's proprietary additives are used exclusively in LE lubricants. Wirelife Almasol Coating Lubricant contains Almasol.

Almasol® wear- reducing additive attaches itself to metal surfaces in a single microscopic layer, yet will not build on itself or affect clearances. It possesses tremendous load-carrying capacity, is impervious to acid attack and minimizes metal-to-metal contact and the resulting friction and wear. When added to LE lubricants, it provides a level of protection available with no other lubricant.
