Lubricant

WLD is a highly tenacious, adhesive lubricant containing both molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and graphite, and is specially formulated for use on wire lines, cable and open roller chains. WLD penetrates the outer strands of wire rope and cable, displacing moisture, and permeating to the core of the rope or cable, lubricating and protecting each strand. As the carrier solvent of WLD evaporates, a thin, flexible film of lubricant is formed. This barrier film prevents the incursion of moisture or dirt between the strands, and contains rust and corrosion inhibitors to prevent both abrasive and corrosive wear, significantly prolonging the life of cable and wire rope. The barrier film of WLD protects against the formation of rust and prevents rust binding, which reduces cable flexibility and life; increasing friction and wear. The barrier also offers protection against corrosion, preventing pitting of wire strands that can cause fatigue failure in the cable or rope. WLD also performs effectively in the presence of high humidity or salt water. WLD resists being thrown and dripping off the cable or rope even at the highest operating speeds. Because it is a thin film lubricant, constant replenishment of the lubricant is not required, thus reducing the cost of lubricant application. Size: 12 oz
