I’m heading to Tucson next week to present Tube-Lube at the Western Underground Committee’s January meeting. I’m looking forward to the trip – it will be a great opportunity to introduce Tube-Lube as a safe and environmentally responsible product! Here’s a summary of the presentation:
“Tube-Lube® 326 is a water-based pulling lubricant designed to make your job easier – in more ways than one! When the geometry of the pull threatens to exceed your cable allowables or your pulling gear, proper lubricant selection and application lets you pull farther, with a better factor of safety on your cable and your equipment.
 

Friction coefficients for Tube-Lube are similar to other products, but with only a thin layer of lubricant required, your budget gets more ‘miles to the gallon’ with less mess.
Tube-Lube is easy to apply and easy to clean up: a smaller crew can spray from a distance to satisfy your safety officer and budget; and the overspray is biodegradable, so there’s no environmental concerns to mitigate. Your cable will pull in smoothly without the excess residue that can clog the duct and make extraction difficult in the future.
DCD Design & Manufacturing Ltd. has integrated Tube-Lube spray nozzles into a range of cable pulling equipment, and with a manual-pump or battery-operated applicator tank we have all you need to make life easy and green.”
I’ll be presenting in the afternoon of Wednesday the 20th at the Tucson Doubletree hotel. See the details at the WUC website here, and I hope to see you there!
