VCG-1 Coating Grease
For marine and industrial applications which are subjected to water washout such as anchor wires, tow wires, underground winders and any underwater use.
Viper WRL Coating Grease VCG-1, is a technologically advanced wire rope lubricant designed to withstand water washout, protect against corrosion, penetrate and also provide extreme pressure protection for winch drums and sheaves. The red tacky NLGI#1 grease will provide superior service life in marine and mining applications with non drip or fling tendencies.
Why Use VCG-1 Coating Grease to Lubricate your wire rope
Beneficial Qualities
What This Means for you
Provides Superior Protection
- Minimises friction, heat and wear
- Protects against shock loading
- Resists rust, corrosion and oxidation
Increases Uptime and Saves Money
- Lowers lubrication costs of wire ropes through increased relubrication intervals of wire ropes
- Reduces machinery downtime when applied with a Viper wire rope lubricator
- Reduces maintenance costs by reducing friction wear and most importantly corrosion in wire rope applications
- Simplifies inventory by being used as a bearing grease and wire rope lubricant.
- Red colour makes it easy to see in service.
Withstands Heat and Cold
- Performs well in broad temperature range
- Has dropping point of up to 177°C (350°F)
- Offers exceptional lubricating qualities even at high operating temps
- Maintains excellent pumpability even at low operating temps
Stays Put for Extended Use
- Clings to metal surfaces
- Won’t wash off or pound out
Seals Out Moisture
- Will not wash off even in high turbulent water
