Product Data Sheet CABLE LUBE
Brautek Cable Lube is a heavy-duty lubricant developed for the
lubrication and preservation of wire ropes and cables. It is formulated with
varying conditions of product use, which are beyond our control, it is strongly recommended that the product be tested for suitability. Product typical properties in this publication are current.

without heating. Its low viscosity and special wetting properties permit
penetration to the core of the wire rope or cable. The solvent evaporates,
leaving behind a tough, semi-fluid lubricant in the core and on each wire
strand.
Brautek Cable Lube clings tenaciously and is not readily displaced by
water. It contains an effective rust inhibitor for further protection. Between
treatments, lubrication is supplied from the core, which acts as a reservoir
to distribute the lubricant to each wire and strand.
Brautek Cable Lube reduces friction and wear between the wires and
strands. The coating on the exterior of the cable protects and lubricates the
cable and serves as a cushion between the cable and the sheaves or drums.
This residual film remains pliable even at low ambient temperatures.
