Synthetic Oil Provides Ultimate Surface Protection

Wirelife® Almasol® Syn Coating Lubricant (2022) is an extremely tacky, nonasphaltic synthetic lubricant with exceptionally high film strength. Perfect for extreme environments and conditions, it is the ultimate outer surface protector for wire rope and cable and comes from the same advanced technology that LE developed to protect large open gears in the mining and quarry industries. It derives its high load-carrying capacity from its synergistic blend of an extreme pressure additive and Almasol, LE's exclusive wear-reducing additive.

Beneficial Qualities

 N/A Robust for Heavy Use
  • Exhibits exceptionally high film strength due to heavy synthetic base fluid
  • Withstands heavy loads and cushions shock loading
  • Reduces wear by minimizing wire to-wire contact within the rope
  • Performs better and lasts longer than standard lubricants
Stays Put
  • Is extremely tacky
  • Clings tenaciously to metal surfaces
  • Requires less lubricant consumption and less maintenance
Safe & Easy
  • Appears translucent in use, allowing frequent visual safety inspections of the wire rope
  • Contains no halogenated compounds or heavy metals that would harm the environment
  • Cleared for disposal like any other non-hazardous petroleum oil
  • Can be applied manually or through automatic spray lubrication systems
  • Will not accumulate on surfaces

Proprietary Additive

 N/A LE's proprietary additives are used exclusively in LE lubricants. Wirelife® Almasol® Syn 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.
