Description
Castrol Molub-Alloy™ WR 1000 is a wire rope lubricant based on high viscosity index, highly refined paraffinic petroleum
oils, compounded with additives, which impart strong adhesive and film forming properties, corrosion protection and
anti-wear characteristics.
Application
Molub-Alloy WR 1000 was developed to perform as a premium quality wire rope lubricant in open cast and underground
mining operations where maximum rope life must be achieved despite harsh operating conditions. It is designed for
use on dragline hoist and drag ropes, shovel hoist and crowd ropes, winder and guide suspension cables and crane
hoist ropes.
Special surface-active additives improve wetting and penetration of lube to rope inner surfaces.
Extreme pressure characteristics are enhanced by the addition of lubricating solid additives and unique synergistic
agents.
Polymeric additives provide exceptional coverage and protection to outer surfaces of the rope and sheaves.
Molub-Alloy WR 1000 is environmentally acceptable rope lube in that does not contain solvents, lead, barium, zinc,
antimony or other ecologically undesirable additives.
