Castrol Tribol WR 4600
Castrol Tribol WR 4600 is a wire rope lubricant, specifically developed for wire ropes used in buildings' elevators. It is formulated to allow fast evaporation, leaving an oil-based residue which lubricates and provides corrosion protection to the elevator wire rope. It is best applied by painting with a standard paint brush or using a paint roller and pan, and is applied to the wire rope as a clear colourless liquid. The de-aromatised solvent evaporates, leaving a tenacious shear stable lubricating and protecting film. Tribol WR 4600 is not suitable for use in wick feed automatic lubricators.
Features & Benefits
| •Low initial viscosity of the dispensed product providing rapid and effective penetration into the ropes and ease of coverage of the ropes during application. |
| •High evaporation rate allows ropes to be generously lubricated and lifts returned to service immediately without the risks of fling off and dripping of lubricant onto the brake drums, or wear associated with dilution of base lubricant. |
| •High final viscosity, maximising the film strength and abrasion protection to best combat external wear of the ropes and sheaves and internal fretting corrosion of the ropes, in order to increase rope and sheave life and minimise repair costs. |
| •High shear stability, tenacity and longevity of the base lubricant to maximise the film lifetime to significantly lengthen the re-lubrication interval and thus minimise the material and labour costs of relubrication over the life of the lift. |
| •The ability of the base lubricant during downtime to flow back into internal wire contact zones to prevent internal fretting, corrosion and wear. |
| •High tackiness and low slipperiness of the base lubricant to enhance rather than degrade traction. |
| •Excellent corrosion protection suitable for salty coastal environments and outdoor / observation lifts. |
| •Contains synthetic polymer and refined low odour solvent. |
Main Applications
| •Wire ropes used in buildings' elevators |
| •Outdoor / observation lifts and salty coastal environments |
