Wire ropes are integral components for many buildings, machines, and structures. This material is comprised of contiguous wire strands that are wrapped around a centralized core. It is important to lubricate wire ropes in order to limit friction and prevent corrosion.

The coating lubricant provides a protective layer on the cable's surface, guarding against moisture, wear, fretting, and corrosion.
There are two main types of wire rope lubricants: penetrating and coating.
A penetrating lubricant uses a solvent to deliver the lubricant deep into the wire's interior. The solvent evaporates, leaving behind a thick, protective film on each strand.
SPEL has a complete range of Wire Rope Lubricants that are designed to penetrate the strands of the wire rope, reducing friction and wear during operation. Common types include penetrating oils for deep lubrication, cardium compounds, dry film lubricants for clean applications, and heavy-duty greases for extreme conditions.
