Cable Lubricant

Pourable, high performance water-based cable lubricant for lighter cable installations. It provides superior friction reduction between cable and all forms of conduit and dries slowly to form a thin friction reducing film which retains slip. Where large quantities of lubricant are needed Techlube PHD is pumpable. It is biodegradable, worker friendly and environmentally responsible.

Features & Benefits

• Easy to apply water-based, high performance cable lubricant
• Superior friction reduction and strong adhesion to cable/duct wall
• Regular pulling tension and reduced risk of cable damage during the cable installation
• Dries slowly to form a thin friction reducing film which retains its slip
• Allows additional cable installs or removals in same duct at a later date
• Continues to lubricate the cable jacket in flooded conditions
• Temperature stability
• Does not contain salt, detergent or grease which can degrade cable jackets and cause hot spots
• No threat to the environment
• Cable jacket materials tested and passed to specification Insulated Conductor Committee Guide P1210/D10:
  • High Density Polyethylene
  • Linear Low Density Polyethylene
  • Natural Rubber
  • Chlorinated Polyethylene
  • Hypalon
  • Ethylene Propylene Rubber
  • Cross Linked Polyethylene
  • Poly-Vinyl Chloride
  • Neoprene
• Specific gravity – 1.0
