Why Lone Star LSG Wire Rope Grease is Essential for Your Wire Ropes

Wire ropes and cables are the lifeblood of operations in critical industries such as mining, marine, construction, and transportation. They support massive loads and are constantly exposed to weathering, corrosion, and internal friction. A wire rope failure is not only costly but can be catastrophic for safety.

At Lone Star Grease and Lubricants, we understand that protecting your wire ropes requires a solution that goes beyond surface lubrication. Introducing LSG Wire Rope Grease: a high-performance, semi-fluid grease specifically designed to ensure the longevity, safety, and reliability of your most stressed assets.

The Dual Function That Defines Performance

LSG Wire Rope Grease stands out for its unique ability to address the two main enemies of wire rope: internal friction and external and internal corrosion.

1. Deep Penetration for Internal Protection

Unlike conventional greases that only cover the surface, the semi-fluid to soft consistency of LSG Wire Rope Grease and its formulation with high-viscosity mineral base oils (ISO VG 460) allow for deep penetration.

• Core Lubrication: The grease infiltrates the rope’s core, lubricating each individual strand. This is crucial for preventing premature internal wear and strand breakage, a common cause of invisible failure.
• Tough, Self-Healing Film: Provides a film of exceptional strength that is tough enough to withstand constant flexing of the rope and self-healing to ensure continuous coverage.

2. Superior Armoring Against the Elements

The basis for this grease’s effectiveness is its calcium sulfonate complex thickener. This cutting-edge chemistry is recognized in the industry for its unmatched protective properties:

• Exceptional Water Resistance: The grease does not dissolve or slough off in the presence of water, salinity, or humidity, making it ideal for marine applications and intense washdown environments.
• Superior Corrosion Protection: Calcium sulfonate provides inherent protection against rust and corrosion, protecting both the surface and the core of the cable.

Why choose Lone Star LSG Wire Rope Grease?

• High Adhesion: Despite being semi-fluid for penetration, the grease is formulated for maximum adhesion, ensuring minimal sloughing, even on fast-moving or high-speed cables.
• Maximum Value: By significantly extending the life of your expensive cables and reducing the need for unplanned replacements and maintenance, LSG Wire Rope Grease is a smart investment that lowers your long-term operating costs.
