Tectyl and TecPlex Wire Rope Coatings are premium petroleum-based coatings that offer exceptional protection from corrosion in the presence of high humidity and salt air commonly found in coastal regions. These coatings are applied by wire rope manufacturers when the individual strands are wound into ropes. The firm, wax-like film coats the wire strands and protects them from premature failure caused by strand-on-strand wear during wire rope usage on cranes or mining applications.
