LUBE & PULLTAPE

EASY TO USE – ProPull™ Lube is easily applied directly to the cable.  On very long or difficult pulls, the use of a sponge spreader or lubricant applicator is desirable.

LUBRICATES PLASTICS – The surfactant used in ProPull™ Lube causes the lube to completely coat and cling to HDPE cable jackets and conduit.  This characteristic, in conjunction with the viscosity of the polymer gel, helps carry the lube completely through the conduit.

NON-DRYING – ProPull™ will not dry out on long pulls or under excessive heat conditions.  The solids content is less than 0.6% where other gel cable lubes can be as much as 5.0% solids.

WILL NOT HARM CABLES – ProPull™ Lube does not contain silicone.  There is evidence silicone contributes to stress cracking of HDPE.  This contains only cosmetic grade chemical which have no effect on HDPE or other common cable sheath materials.

NON-TOXIC – ProPull™ Lube is non-toxic and non-hazardous to the environment. Its pH has be adjusted to neutral. 

QUANTITY – The recommended quantities of lubricant are calculated based on size and length of duct.  Since the final coefficient of friction is dependent on the type of conduit, rope, cable and lubricant, the quantities recommended are an average pull.  See spec sheet for recommendations or contact your sales/technical contact at Petroflex for additional information.
