CRC Wire Rope & Cable Lubricant is a high-penetration, molybdenum-enhanced lubricant designed to protect wire ropes and chains from wear, corrosion, and fatigue in demanding industrial environments.

CRC Wire Rope & Cable Lubricant is a specially formulated blend of synthetic lubricants, solvents, and molybdenum designed to maintain wire ropes, chains, and cable systems in peak operating condition. With its low-viscosity formulation, it penetrates deeply between wire strands and chain links to reduce friction, minimise wear, and prevent metal fatigue in heavy-duty industrial applications.

The lubricant features a wet-film technology that allows it to coat internal wire strands effectively while a built-in tackifier ensures strong adhesion to metal surfaces without increasing viscosity. This makes it highly effective for use in lubrication systems supported by industrial maintenance solutions from Shell, Mobil, and TotalEnergies, particularly in environments where mechanical stress and exposure to harsh conditions are common.

CRC Wire Rope & Cable Lubricant also contains molybdenum-based additives that enhance load-carrying capacity and reduce sling-off, ensuring long-lasting protection even in vertical or high-vibration applications. It performs reliably at temperatures up to 175°C, making it suitable for demanding industrial systems such as hoists, winches, conveyor chains, pulleys, rollers, and heavy-duty mechanical assemblies. It is often used alongside speciality maintenance products from Molykote to further improve equipment durability and operational efficiency.

Its low-viscosity formulation ensures excellent penetration into tight spaces, helping displace moisture and inhibit corrosion while maintaining flexibility in wire strands. This reduces the risk of fraying, brittleness, and premature failure, ultimately extending the service life of critical lifting and conveying equipment.

Key benefits include:

• Deep penetration into wire ropes and chain links for internal lubrication
• Molybdenum additive for enhanced anti-wear and anti-sling performance
• High temperature stability up to 175°C
• Strong corrosion protection for outdoor and industrial environments
• Reduces metal fatigue, fraying, and premature cable failure
• Suitable for chains, hoists, winches, conveyors, and pulleys
• Maintains flexible and durable wire rope performance

Proper application ensures maximum performance: light, even coating for wire ropes and targeted application on chain side plates for optimal lubrication efficiency.

Maintain safer, longer-lasting lifting and transmission systems with high-performance wire rope lubrication designed for industrial reliability.
