Viper Eco Rope Guardian ERG-1
Viper’s Eco Rope Guardian lubricant is specifically formulated to be earth friendly while still meeting the rigorous demands of industrial applications. With these products, you can ‘go green’ – and keep up with the latest environmental regulations – without having to sacrifice performance.
ECO Rope Guardian Lubricant ERG-1 is a certified Environmentally Acceptable Lubricant (EAL), recommended for use in applications on or near waterways. It is readily biodegradable, exhibits minimal aquatic toxicity and will not accumulate in the cells of fish and other aquatic life forms.
Its semi-tacky, water-resistant characteristics enable it to adhere to the application and seal out damaging moisture and protect against rust formation. Its robust additive package further helps it protect against wear, corrosion, impact, rust and oxidation.
WHY USE ERG-1 ECO ROPE GUARDIAN
Minimal wash off in high wash submersed applications
Seals surfaces, protecting against rust and corrosion
Dramatically reduces wear to wire ropes and sheaves
Zero Bio-accumulating content
Clings tenuously to metal surfaces
Broad Temperature Operating range -29C to 200C
Resists Sling off, keeps work area clean
Lessens resistance when surfaces slide over one another, ensuring cooler operation
Effectively applied via Auto applicators like the ViperWRL
Increased lubricant intervals dramatically reduce consumption
Semi translucent aids visual inspection of Ropes “NOT BLACK”
RECOMMENDATIONS
Operating Range: -29° to 200°C (-20 to 392°F)
Ideal for use through the Viper Wire Rope Lubricator
Not for high temperatures or when gear oil is specified
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Applications on or near waterways, including:
Wire Ropes
Chains (links, pins, bushings)
Cables (sheave bushings, bearings & strands)
Open & Closed silent and roller chains
PROPRIETARY ADDITIVES
Proprietary special additive system is used in Eco Rope Guardian. Solid wear-reducing additive can withstand extremely heavy loads, chemical attack and contact temperatures over 1000°C. It is attracted to metal surfaces, forming a microscopic layer but not building on itself or affecting clearances, minimizing metal-to-metal contact and the resulting friction heat and wear.
Also contains an additive that contributes to outstanding water resistance, tackiness and enhanced mechanical stability, and helps to form a barrier against corrosion.
