TACKY FLUID GREASE RESISTS WATER, PENETRATES WIRE ROPES

Viper WRL Penetrating Grease VPG-0, is a soft, semifluid formulation designed to coat wire rope with a thin lubricant film as well as penetrate to the core. Its tacky, water-resistant characteristics enable it to adhere strongly and to seal out damaging moisture. Viper WRL Penetrating Gease contains a wear-reducing additive that protects against premature wear and shields metal against corrosive attack.

WHY USE VPG-0 PENETRATING GREASE

BENEFICIAL QUALITIES

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU

Wear Reduction & Corrosion Protection

  • Lubricates and reduces wear to wire rope and sheaves
  • Protects wear-intensive areas such as cable drums and cable sheaves
  • Lessens resistance when surfaces slide over one another, ensuring cooler operation
  • Seals all surfaces, protecting against rust and corrosion
  • Sheilds against corrosion attack

Versatility

  • Excellent for wire rope and cables

Tackiness & Water Resistance

  • Clings tightly to wire ropes
  • Resists sling-off; keeps work area clean
  • Stays in place in presence of heat and moisture for long service life
  • Increases service intervals, requiring less lubricant to be used

Smooth, Quiet Operation

  • Enables strands to move freely, reducing fatigue
  • Softens shocks with its full-bodied, semifluid properties

Performance reqirements met or exceeded

  • USDA H2

Recommendations

  • Typical operating range is -29°C to 77°C (-20°F to 170°F)
