Lanotec Wire Rope Lube Aerosol puts lanolin rope dressing in a 300 g can for crane, rigging and marine ropes and chains, packed 6 to a carton.

What it does

Inside the can is lanolin in a carrier solvent that evaporates. The carrier lets the lanolin travel through the outer wires to the core, where it lubricates the strands and reduces wear as the rope bends under load. What stays behind resists acids, salt and wash off, so a coat lasts from one service to the next. Lanotec's data sheet also rates it compatible with most coating systems.

Where to use it

Lanotec names ropes above 16 mm, rig and marine crane ropes, ropes working in the splash zone, coastal sites and heavily loaded industrial chains. The aerosol suits touch ups after an inspection, short lengths and spots a brush cannot reach. Pins and plugs on the same crane take Lanotec Type A Grease. See the full coolants and lubricants range.

How to use

1. Inspect the rope for damage before treating it.
2. Where practical, clear grit off using a wire brush or a high pressure water jet.
3. Shake the can thoroughly; give it extra time on cold days.
4. Set a catch tray under the section being sprayed.
5. Fill the valleys between strands and stop there, then wipe off surplus.

Safe on / avoid

Lanotec rates it compatible with the oil based lubricants rope makers apply, so old dressing can stay. The can is pressurised: store it under 50°C, keep it out of direct sun, and never puncture or burn it, empty or full. Read the Safety Data Sheet before use.
