Cable Guard Liquid Grease from Sierra lubricates wire cables, chains and hinges and shields them from corrosion, sold by the 5 L jerry can or 20 L drum.

What it does

Two things happen when this liquid grease goes on: moving metal is lubricated so it wears less, and a coat is left behind that holds off corrosion. Sierra's catalogue says its lubricity suits all surfaces and that it reduces both wear and corrosion, and the SDS gives its intended use as a wire cable lubricant and corrosion protection. In the pack it is a brown, viscous grease with a sweet paraffin smell, based on more than 30 per cent hydrotreated petroleum distillate. It does not mix with water and has a flash point above 130ºC.

Where to use it

Cables, wire ropes, chains and hinges: the moving metal that needs both lubrication and corrosion protection. For a lanolin based spray on crane and marine ropes, compare Lanotec Wire Rope Lube Aerosol. More in coolants and lubricants.

How to use

1. Put on safety goggles and solvent resistant gloves.
2. Work in a well ventilated area and avoid breathing vapour.
3. Apply it as supplied to the cable, chain or hinge. It does not mix with water, so do not thin it with water.
4. Keep heat, sparks and open flame away while you work.
5. Close the container, store it locked up and wash your hands afterwards.
   No application method or rate appears in Sierra's catalogue or SDS; ask us if you need one.

Safe on / avoid

Keep Cable Guard away from strong acids and strong oxidising agents. The product floats on water and its vapour is heavier than air, so keep spills out of drains and waterways. Read the Safety Data Sheet before use.
