How to Store and Use ROCOL Wire Rope Dressing

ROCOL Wire Rope Dressing should be stored in its original container at a temperature between +1°C and +40°C. By storing ROCOL Wire Rope Dressing in accordance with the guidelines, you can expect a shelf life of 4 years from the date of manufacture.

When it comes to usage, ROCOL Wire Rope Lubricant should be applied at a minimum temperature of 0°C using a brush, swab or automatic lubricator. Make sure to apply it only on clean and dry ropes for the best results. According to approximate coverage based on a 25mm diameter rope, 1 kilogram of ROCOL Wire Rope Dressing will be required for every 50 metres of rope.
