JAX Bio-Guard™ Wire Rope Lube is an environmentally acceptable lubricant (EAL) specifically engineered for wire rope and cable applications in environmentally sensitive areas. Compliant with Vessel General Permit (VGP) regulations, this advanced lubricant offers exceptional rust and corrosion protection, minimizes internal and external wear, and performs reliably in demanding conditions. With a biobased content exceeding 60% and proven compliance with rigorous environmental standards (including OECD biodegradability and toxicity tests),
JAX Bio-Guard Wire Rope Lube ensures performance without compromising the environment. Its low viscosity and pour point enhance pumpability in cold conditions, while its extreme-pressure and antiwear additives protect wire ropes and cables from the constant stresses of industrial operations.
Key Benefits:
- Environmental Compliance: Conforms to major environmental standards, including the US EPA’s requirements for EAL lubricants and the VGP for Discharges Incidental to Normal Operation of Vessels (VGP). JAX Bio-Guard Wire Rope Oil has passed the OECD 301 B – Test of Ready Biodegradability, OECD 202 – Test of Aquatic Toxicity based on Daphnia Magna, OECD 208 – Terrestrial Plant Toxicity Test, and OECD 305 – Non-Bioaccumulation.
- Low Viscosity and Pour Point: Optimized for cold weather performance, JAX Bio-Guard Wire Rope Oil maintains excellent pumpability and protection even at winter temperatures.
- Superior Rust and Corrosion Protection: Designed to penetrate deep into the rope’s core, providing a durable lubricating film that helps minimize deterioration caused by harsh environmental factors.
- Extreme-Pressure and Antiwear Performance: This formulation enhances the lifespan of wire ropes and cables by reducing internal wear caused by the movement of braided strands under various loads and pressures.
