Getting to the Core of the Issue: Ferryl 101 Anticorrosive Oil
Sales of Ferryl 101 Anticorrosive Oil are on the rise in 2014.
Ferryl 101 is a liquid product with an excellent ability to penetrate into the wire, preventing rust in the wire-core. Rust in the wire-core can otherwise lead to weakened wires, shorter wire lifespan or the very dangerous case of the wire snapping.
If left unprotected the inner parts of a wire can rust, causing it to deteriorate from the inside, even if coated with a quality grease on the surface. Water or moisture can be trapped in the centre of the wire causing rust of the inner strands not noticeable during visual inspection.
This can lead to a wire in seemingly perfect condition snapping because of wire core corrosion - a very dangerous situation for crew. This can be avoided by ensuring the wire core is given anticorrosive protection.
With a high level of special anticorrosive properties, lubricants and adhesive additives, Ferryl 101 Anticorrosive Oil provides exceptional lubrication and rust protection of the wire core.
The need to protect the wire core is nothing new to the shipping industry. Lubricator devices aim to force grease into the wire core using pressure. How successful such devices are is debatable and as many vessels are opting to not invest in costly equipment to lubricate wires, using a penetrating oil to ensure the wire core is protected is always a clear and fail-proof solution.
Ferryl 101 is very easy to apply. The oil is simply brushed or sprayed onto the wire. It then penetrates and coats all strands. For long-term outer protection and lubrication, Ferryl 202 Standard Anticorrosive Grease is then applied on top. The steel wire is then optimally equipped to withstand conditions at sea.
Importantly, Ferryl 101 Anticorrosive Oil is 100% compatible with Ferryl 202 Standard Anticorrosive Grease. This means that the two products are deliberately designed to be ideal for use together. Ferryl 101 can also be mixed with Ferryl 202 Standard to create a wire-rope coating with a viscosity in between that of Ferryl 202 Standard and Ferryl 101. Ferryl therefore lets you create the grease that is ideal for you.
