Elaskon SK-U (fluid) wire rope lubrication

Elaskon SK-U (fluid) - high-performance wire rope lubrication with deep action & corrosion protection

Elaskon SK-U (fluid) is a professional lubricant and care product for wire ropes on cranes, winches, lifts, cable cars, forestry and marine applications. Thelow viscosity, creeping formulation penetrates right into the rope core, reduces friction and wear and forms aStrongly adhesive, water-repellent protective film against corrosion - even under harsh weather conditions.

Your advantages at a glance

• Excellent penetration: liquid setting (fluid) ensures deep wetting right down to the rope core.
• Wear reduction: Stable lubricating films reduce friction, rope breakage and readjustment intervals.
• Corrosion protection & water displacement: provides reliable protection against rain, splash water and sea air.
• Strong adhesion & low spin: remains on the rope - ideal for fast-running winches and deflections.
• Compatible with materials: Suitable for many bare and galvanised wire ropes.
• Economical: long service life, reduced maintenance and spare parts costs.

Typical areas of application

• Crane and lifting technology: construction cranes, mobile cranes, harbour cranes
• Winches, wire rope hoists & lifting gear in industry and forestry
• Marine & offshore, towing and anchor winches
• Ropeways, conveyor systems, stage and event technology

Application

1. Roughly clean the cable (remove dust/old lubricant).
2. Elaskon SK-U (fluid) Apply evenly to the running or stationary rope (e.g. brush, spray or dosing device).
3. Allow excess to drip off; provide for regular relubrication depending on the load.

Note: Check compatibility with existing coatings/old products on an inconspicuous area. Observe the manufacturer's safety and application instructions.

Why SK-U (fluid)?

Because depth effect, corrosion protection and adhesion are what count with wire ropes:Elaskon SK-U (fluid) extends rope service life, reduces downtimes and ensures that winches and hoists run reliably.
