VPG-0 Penetrating Grease

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
