SUPER-SLICK
™
CABLE-PULLING LUBRICANT
Exclusive GB
®
Micro Bead Formula rolls cable
through the longest pulls.
• Lowest pulling tension. This GB
®
lubricant innovation combines
a lubricating agent with microbeads that act as miniature ball bearings to
raise the cable off the conduit surface. Cable literally rolls through the run,
reducing friction by an additional 30% compared to regular lubricants.
• Adheres throughout long pulls. Creates a slick film that will not rub off or
dry out on long pulls or re-pulls.
• Requires up to 45% less lubricant per foot than regular lubricants, actually
reducing cable-pulling costs.
• Stable under temperature extremes of 28 °F to 200 °F and withstands
repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
• Harmless to skin and safe for the environment. Non-toxic, non-flammable
and non-corrosive to all conduit types. Easily cleans up with water and will
not stain clothing.
• Universally compatible with all cable types and jacket materials, including
low-density and linear low density polyethylene, polyurethane and semi-
conducting jackets.
