Techlube HD

Techlube HD is a heavy-duty water-based cable pulling lubricant designed for challenging underground cable installations, particularly for heavy cables and difficult cable pulls. It offers superior friction reduction between cables and various types of conduits, including those made of concrete. The string and cling consistency of Techlube HD ensures excellent adherence to cables even in wet weather, and it exhibits resistance to wash off in water-filled ducts. This non-flammable, non-toxic, and biodegradable cable lubricant is suitable for use with electrical and power cables.
 
Applications:
Underground power and telecom cable placement lubricant
High shear, difficult cable pulling installations
Sub-duct installations
Duct pre-lubrication
Key Benefits:
Easy to apply water-based, high-performance polymer cable lubricant
Strong adhesion to cable/duct for superior friction reduction
Reduced risk of cable damage during the cable pull
Regular pulling tension during cable installation
Dries slowly to form a thin friction-reducing film that retains its slip
Retains duct lubrication, allowing additional cable installs/removals in the same duct
Continues to lubricate the cable jacket even when ducts are flooded
High and low-temperature stability
Compatibility tested with materials used in power cable joints and accessories
Proven compatible with all forms of cable jacket materials when tested according to the IEEE Guide P1210/D10
Does not contain salt, detergent, or grease that can degrade cable jackets
Will not cause hot spots
No threat to the environment; spillages can be flushed to drain
Standard Packaging:
20-litre bucket (each)
2-litre pre-lubricating bag (10/bucket)
