Sentinel® ST wire rope lubricants are compounded with .02 micron particles of Teflon®* which provide exceptionally low frictional qualities with positive anti-wear protection. They are formulated to prolong the life of wire rope, support cables and sheaves. These lubricants have extreme pressure properties superior to heavy-duty gear oils and greases. They have very low surface tension and polar properties, allowing for maximum penetration to the core of even the largest rope. In this way the lubrication is performed from the innermost core out, thereby assuring complete lubrication of each individual strand. This provides full protection against corrosion wear.
