Description:

ROCOL BIOGEN WIRESHIELD is a high performance, biodegradable, VGP compliant wire rope lubricant featuring advanced pseudoplastic rheology.

BIOGEN WIRESHIELD demonstrates industry leading corrosion protection in laboratory testing, therefore protecting ropes from their primary failure mode

BIOGEN WIRESHIELD initially appears to be a dark grey gel, however, it is designed to immediately transform into a fluid consistency under shear to aid penetration into the core of the rope. When the shearing stops the BIOGEN WIRESHIELD stiffens back to a grease consistency. This transformation ensures that the lubricant resists dripping or throw off.

Features & Benefits:

• VGP and Eco-Label compliant (pending), ensuring biodegradability, minimal eco-toxicity and low bioaccumulation potential.
• Industry leading corrosion protection.
• No sheen formula.
• Pseudoplastic rheology aids application of the lubricant on to the wire rope by increasing penetration. It also ensures simple application with high pressure lubricators.
• BIOGEN WIRESHIELD has a wide temperature range -30°C to +180°C, ensuring resistance to high temperature applications such as heave compensation and also viability for extreme cold weather use.
• The thin, non-tacky film of BIOGEN WIRESHIELD prevents build-up of dust and dirt and is highly resistant to water wash-off.
• BIOGEN WIRESHIELD has excellent lubricating properties which reduces wear on wires and strands, ultimately maximising service life. ? BIOGEN WIRESHIELD is highly stable in the presence of salt water, safeguarding protection when exposed to sea water for long periods of time. 

Applications:

• BIOGEN WIRESHIELD is optimised for high performance use under arduous conditions whilst minimising environmental impact.
• Ideal for use when VGP regulations must be met. Please see www.rocol.com/biogen for further information.
• BIOGEN WIRESHIELD is ideal for lubrication of all types of wire ropes. It is also ideal for equipment such as winches, hoists, drag lines, large chains, open gears, tethers, steel armoured and ROV umbilicals.
• BIOGEN WIRESHIELD can be applied using a brush, swab or automatic lubricator.
• Approved for use with the Masto High Pressure Wire Rope Lubricator, Viper and Corelube wire rope lubricant applicators.
