BIOGEN WIRESHIELD has Pseudoplastic rheology
"Pseudoplastic" means that when a force is applied to the grease, it thins. This means that it:
  • Improves pumpability, speeds up application, minimises blockages 
  • Maximises penetration into umbilicals and wire ropes
  • Optimises resistance to wash-off and fling-off

For Wire ropes on main cranes, Armoured ROV-umbilicals, Davit-cranes,  auxiliary cranes & anchor-ropes
Why BIOGEN WIRESHIELD?
BIOGEN WIRESHIELD is a biodegradable lubricant for wire ropes and umbilicals with no compromise performance versus mineral oil competitors. In-house laboratory tests and extensive field trials with some of the largest wire rope and umbilical users and manufacturers in the world have repeatedly proven the quality of BIOGEN WIRESHIELD.
Pseudoplastic rheology - shear reduces viscosity, increases ease of pumping, speeds up lubrication and minimises blockages aid penetration into the rope.

Grease for

CABLE LAYING CAROUSELS

Metal-on-metal, low-speed, high-load conditions require specialist protection. Saltwater ingress causes washout and corrosion and Lubricants must maintain performance over extended service intervals.

Lubrication Points
Carousel reel lubrication made simple
Carousel reel systems rely on several moving contact points, including roller surfaces, tracks, bearings and chains.
Recommended approach
Use targeted products for each moving element rather than treating the reel as a single lubrication point.
Carousel rollers & track
Roller surfaces and track
TUFLUBE Allweather supports roller and track lubrication where exposed surfaces need durable film strength, water resistance and corrosion protection.
Roller bearings
Bearing lubrication
SAPPHIRE® Unilube provides automatic lubrication support for carousel reel roller bearings, helping maintain consistent grease delivery over time.
Carousel chain
2-step lubrication process
Use CHAIN & DRIVE Fluid as the penetrating fluid lubricant, followed by TUFLUBE Allweather as the waterproof grease for longer-lasting protection.
Build a repeatable lubrication routine
Step 1
Map each moving element before product selection.
Step 2
Match the lubricant to the component and exposure conditions.
Step 3
Build a repeatable lubrication routine for carousel reliability.

Identify the main moving elements that need reliable lubrication
Carousel reel systems rely on multiple moving contact points, including roller surfaces, tracks, bearings and chains. The right lubrication programme helps protect these components against wear, corrosion and water exposure.
Recommended lubrication approach
Use targeted products for each moving element rather than treating the reel as a single lubrication point.
