TYGRIS Chain & Wire Rope Lubricant - R220

TYGRIS R220 is a robust, molybdenum-disulphide-reinforced aerosol lubricant engineered for heavy-duty chains and wire ropes. It penetrates deep to shield drive chains, forklift chains, wire hoists, and cable systems delivering long-term wear protection, resistance to elongation, and corrosion defence under extreme load and high-speed conditions.

Key Benefits

• Extreme-pressure protection: Molybdenum disulphide and EP additives tackle heavy loads head-on. 

• Outstanding adhesion: Formulated to stay on-target and resist fling-off, even at high RPM. 

• Deep penetration: Aerosol spray with aggressive wetting action to reach pins and bushings for full-contact protection. 

• Corrosion & elongation prevention: Thin protective film guards metal while reducing wear and chain stretch. 

• Water resistant: Maintains lubrication integrity in wet and humid environments.

Technical Specifications

Application & Usage

Shake can vigorously. Hold 15–30 cm from the chain or rope. Spray thoroughly, ensuring deep penetration. Wipe away excess to leave only a film for corrosion defence. After usage, invert can and spray briefly to clear the nozzle. Use PPE and consult the Safety Data Sheet for full handling guidance.
