ROCOL adds innovative products to BIOGEN range

10.05.2016
ROCOL, an established manufacturer of lubricants for global industries, has introduced two new products to its environmentally friendly BIOGEN range.

BIOGEN Spray and BIOGEN Fluid have been launched to support the BIOGEN WIRESHIELD product, a market-leading success due to its “no compromise” performance and green credentials.

All three products provide lubrication for wire ropes and ROV umbilicals across a number of industries including offshore, subsea, port and docks, shipping, dredging, deep sea fishing, mining, construction and general lifting.



The new fluid and spray are based on the technology behind BIOGEN WIRESHIELD, which is a US Vessel General Permit (VGP) compliant lubricant for wire ropes and other products such as ROV umbilicals.

Brendan Kendrick, Business Development Director at ROCOL, said: “The addition of a fluid and a spray to the BIOGEN range adds new dimensions to our customer offering. Both products save time and generate efficiencies, particularly in relation to applications that have limited accessibility and require a specific application method.

“Corrosion is a huge and costly issue in many industries, especially marine and offshore, and it’s important to maximise the life of equipment to ensure project efficiencies. Both new products exemplify our drive and commitment to develop and deliver market-leading products in this specialist area.”

The BIOGEN technology helps provide protection, guarding wire ropes and other equipment from the onset of corrosion – a primary cause of equipment failure in most extreme environments.

BIOGEN Fluid is a multi-purpose lubricant for ropes, chains, pulleys, springs, nuts and bolts. A high performance grease in a biodegradable solvent carrier, featuring advanced pseudoplastic rheology, the fluid version uses the latest developments in lubricating chemistries, to protect equipment from the onset of degradation.

BIOGEN Spray is for use on wire ropes as well as winches, hoists, large chains, nuts, bolts and springs. It is designed to provide users with a high performance aerosolised grease, for use in challenging conditions, while minimising any environmental impact. Both the fluid and the spray are ideal for use in subsea and onshore locations.

Established more than 130 years ago, ROCOL is a manufacturer of lubricants and associated products across a number of sectors including the offshore, marine, automotive, aerospace, industrial, food and drink, transport and mining industries.
