Key specifications

Selecting the right option

For other CRC adhesive lubricants see CRC TAC2 Adhesive Lubricant Aerosol 300g, which is a different formulation with its own data. For a lubricant made for wire rope see CRC Aerosol Wire Rope & Cable Lubricant 285g.

Using it

Switch off and de-energise the equipment before use. Do not apply while equipment is energised. Shake the can well.

On a chain, apply to the upper edges of the overlapping side plates and let it set up before energising.

On wire rope, coat the whole surface so the gel penetrates between the strands.

On other wear surfaces, spray an even coat over the entire wear surface.

Storage and handling

Keep the can away from heat and do not expose it to temperatures above 50 °C.
