Abstract
Results of laboratory tests are given on a compound designed to protect galvanized steel wire mine hoist rope. In a preliminary screening test it was learned that a combination of a road-construct ion asphalt, zinc chromate and trichlorethylene gave better results than a number of compounds presently used for wire rope protection.
A second series of tests on zinc coated wire from mine hoist rope, using various proportions of asphalt, zinc chromate and trichlorethylene, showed that coatings having- an asphalt to zinc chromate ratio of about 1:1 gave best results. The asphalt - zinc chromate-trichlorethylene coating is recommended for both used and unused ropes. 5.3.4, 8.10.3
