Bridon Wire Rope Lubricants


Manufacturing & Service Lubricants

Discover the importance of manufacturing and service lubricants for our ropes. Maintenance of ropes enhances lifetime performance! We listened to our customers and addressed some industry challenges. BriLube Ultra: developed to perform in more challenging environments. Enhanced rope lubricant, manufactured with a unique hybrid grease, suitable for;

Operation in ultra-deep waters.

A wide operating temperature range suitable for active heave compensation systems and warmer tropical climates.

Along with a three stage corrosion protection system with a unique ‘water wash off’ performance for frequent subsea operation.

3 Industry Challenges Cause Loss of Lubricant

Deep water pressure effect on wire rope lubricant loss

Deep Water

High pressure in deep water breaks down the rope lubricants components and cause permanent loss or degradation.

High temperature causing lubricant loss in active heave compensation systems

High temperatures

When using an "active heave compensating system" and "cyclic bending over sheaves", a lot of heat is generated, which softens wax-based lubricants and results in a loss of lubricant.

Lubricant breakdown in tropical climate conditions

Hot climates

Working the lubricant around 60°C (against 110°C drop point) causes wax to become fluid.

Loss of lubricant causes

Corrosion, causing premature rope failure or reduced service life

Environmental impact concerns

Deck safety issues with lubricant "fling off"

Increased maintenance costs
