LE Wirelife Almasol Coating Grease NLGI 0
LE Wirelife® Almasol® Coating Grease (453) is a soft, semifluid formulation designed to coat wire rope and moving chain and cable parts for long life and smooth, quiet operation. Its tacky, water-resistant characteristics allow it to adhere strongly to rapidly moving parts and seal out damaging moisture. It contains Almasol®, LE’s exclusive wear-reducing additive that protects against premature wear and shields metal against corrosive attack.

KEY FEATURES
| •Lubricates and reduces wear on wire rope and all moving parts, including chains (links, pins, bushings) and cables (sheave bushings and bearings, cable strands) |
| •Protects wear-intensive areas such as chain sprockets and cable sheaves |
| •Lessens resistance when surfaces slide over one another, ensuring cooler operation |
| •Seals all surfaces, protecting against rust and corrosion |
| •Shields against acid attack |
| •Clings tightly to pin, bushing or bearing surfaces |
| •Resists sling-off, keeping the work area clean |
| •Stays in place in the presence of steam and moisture for long service life |
| •Increases service intervals, requiring less lubricant |
| •Enables metal joints and strands to move freely |
| •Softens shocks with its full-bodied, semifluid properties |
| •Meets USDA H2 criteria for non-food contact areas of food processing |
APPLICATIONS
| •Wire rope |
| •Chain links, pins and bushings |
| •Cable sheave bushings and cables |
| •Open and closed silent and roller chains |
| •Small, slow-turning gearboxes that require a semifluid lubricant (operating temperatures below 71°C / 160°F) |
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
| Performance Requirements Met or Exceeded | USDA H2 |
| Recommendations | Typical operating range is -29°C to 77°C (-20°F to 170°F). Not for high temperature use or when gear oil is specified. |
| Viper Wire Rope Lubricator | Approved for use with the Viper Wire Rope Lubricator. Documented use of Wirelife Almasol Coating Grease doubles the lubricator’s warranty period to 24 months. |
