Proprietary Additives	N/A LE’s proprietary additives are used exclusively in LE lubricants. Earthwise EAL Wire Rope Grease contains Almasol and Quinplex. Almasol® solid wear-reducing additive is able to withstand extremely heavy loads, chemical attack and temperatures up to 1,900°F (1,038°C). It is attracted to metal surfaces, forming a microscopic layer but not building on itself or affecting clearances. Almasol minimizes metal-to-metal contact and the resulting friction, heat and wear. Quinplex® contributes to outstanding water resistance, tackiness and enhanced mechanical stability, and helps to form a barrier against corrosion.
