Techlube PHD Pourable Cable Lubricant

Techlube PHD is a pourable cable lubricant designed for underground cable installations, specifically for medium-weight and lighter cable pulling operations. With its string and cling consistency, it adheres effectively to cables even in wet conditions and exhibits resistance to wash off in water-filled ducts. This non-flammable, non-toxic, and biodegradable water-based cable lubricant is suitable for use with electrical and telecommunication cables.
