About WIRELOCK - Wire Rope Cold Socketing Compound

WIRELOCK is a resin-based, cold socketing compound used for the termination (socketing) of Wire Ropes. Each pack consists of 2 components (a resin and a powder), supplied in pre-measured quantities. Together they are referred to as a 'WIRELOCK KIT'.

Sockets prepared with WIRELOCK can be safely used after an hour of preparation, under full load thus, significantly reducing down-time. The sockets formed using this compound are extremely durable and have been known to outlast the wire-ropes usable life.

Distributed internationally, WIRELOCK has a worldwide reputation as being the number one product for safe and reliable use across major industrial sectors where wire-ropes are used along with sockets.

WIRELOCK has been in used all around the world for over 40 years and has been recognized & approved by a number of internationally recognized organizations such as - Det Norske Veritas (DNV), ABS, United States Coast Guard, etc.

WIRELOCK KITS are available in sizes of 250 cc, 500 cc & 1,000 cc.

FAQ's of WIRELOCK - Wire Rope Cold Socketing Compound:

Q: How should WIRELOCK be mixed and applied for best results?

A: To achieve optimal performance, thoroughly mix WIRELOCK at a ratio of 5 parts resin to 1 part hardener by weight before use. Ensure even blending to activate the curing process, and pour immediately after mixing. Always wear protective gloves and goggles for safety during the operation.

Q: What is the typical curing time, and when is the compound ready for full load?

A: WIRELOCK cures in approximately 40 minutes at 20C. The socketed assembly reaches full compressive strength (at least 80 MPa) once completely cured; it is recommended to allow curing at room temperature before applying maximum load.

Q: Where and for what applications is WIRELOCK suitable?

A: WIRELOCK is specifically formulated for permanent fixing of wire ropes in sockets, end terminations, and structural cable grouting. Its versatile performance supports use in construction, marine, and industrial environments where strong, lasting terminations are essential.

Q: What are the benefits of using a cold socketing compound like WIRELOCK versus traditional methods?

A: Unlike traditional molten metal socketing, WIRELOCK's cold application minimizes hazards, shortens installation time, and requires fewer specialized tools. The result is a safer, faster, and equally reliable permanent connection.

Q: How should WIRELOCK be stored to maintain its shelf life?

A: Store WIRELOCK in sealed canisters within a cool, dry, and frost-free environment. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight. If stored under recommended conditions, the compound remains effective for up to two years.

Q: Is WIRELOCK compliant with relevant international standards?

A: Yes, WIRELOCK complies with EN 13411-4 and ISO 17558 standards, ensuring it meets strict safety and performance requirements for wire rope socketing and end termination applications.
