Wire Rope BIOLUBE

LUBECO™ WIRE ROPE BIOLUBE is a high performance, readily biodegradable lubricant based on highly refined vegetable esters and modern additive technology.

WIRE ROPE BIOLUBE offers superior oxidation stability and wide temperature range for applications in the most challenging work environment. It provides improved lubrication to the rope core and reduced rubbing wear and friction between the individual strands. Developed to replace the usual mineral oil based lubricants.

Areas of Application

WIRE ROPE BIOLUBE is specifically designed for lubrication of wire ropes used in mining, forestry, marine, construction, transport and all other industry applications where lubricant contamination is environmental concern.

Characteristic Features

Improved lubricating performance
Superior oxidation stability
Extra anti-corrosion protection
Creates strong adhesive film
Readily biodegradable

Parameters

ISO-VG viscosity classification	ISO VG 40
Base Oil	Vegetable oil
Kin. viscosity at 40 °C	The viscosity of a fluid is a measure of its resistance to gradual deformation by shear stress or tensile stress. 40 cSt
Density at 15 °C	920 kg/m3
Kin. viscosity at 100 °C	8.53
Viscosity Index	Viscosity Index (VI) is a measure of the change of viscosity with temperature. The higher the VI, the less is the viscosity affected by changes in temperature. 200
