All Techlube Lubricants share the same chemistry and main characteristics
Techlube FO cable lubricant is a water-based underground cable installation lubricant for fibre optic cable
pulling operations. It was engineered to meet the special requirements of pulling inner duct (sub duct),
communications, and fibre optic cables. Very effective in long distance, difficult fibre optic cable pulling
situations. Its string & cling consistency adheres perfectly to cables in wet weather and has a resistance to
wash off in water filled ducts. Techlube FO is a non-flammable, non-toxic and biodegradable cable
lubricant with high elasticity for reduced consumption.
Easy to apply water-based, high performance cable lubricant
Superior friction reduction and strong adhesion to cable/duct wall
Regular pulling tension reduces risk of cable damage during the cable pull
Dries slowly to form a thin friction reducing film which retains its slip
Allows additional cable installs or removals in same duct at a later date
Continues to lubricate the cable jacket even in flooded ducts
High and low temperature stability
Compatibility tested with materials used in cable jackets, cable joints and accessories
Does not contain salt, detergent or grease which can degrade cable jackets
No threat to environment, spillages can be flushed to drain
USES
Techlube FO is a high performance, pourable liquid, water polymer lubricant to meet the special
requirements of pulling communication and fibre optic cables.
Underground fibre optic cable placements
Copper and lightweight telecommunication cable installations
Sub-duct installations
Duct pre-lubrication
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Due to the light weight of fibre optic cables and inner-ducts, it is desirable to have as thick and even coating

of lubricant on the surface as long as possible. Uneven lubricant coatings with little surface thickness can
lead to a dramatic increase of pulling tension over the long run.
To obtain maximum friction reduction during a communications cable pull, lubricant should be present at all
cable/conduit points of interface. To achieve maximum friction reduction between cable and conduit
interface, lubricant should be spread evenly throughout the conduit system. The amount of lubricant
required for most inner-duct or fibre optic cable pulls is small (pulling 6.35 mm fibre optic cable into 25.4
mm polyethylene inner-duct for a distance of 305 metres requires only 5.68 litres of Techlube FO (see
formula outlined below). Because it is a pourable liquid with a low viscosity, Techlube FO can easily be
moved through the long conduit runs associated with inner-duct fibre optic pulls by pushing, spreading or
blowing.
Any attempt to quantify exactly the amount of lubricant that is needed on any individual installation will fall
short of being accurate. In general, experience has revealed that some valid assumptions can be made.
Formulas are presented below that have been found to be acceptable for most installations. However,
there are field conditions which may require more lubricant than the formulas provide. Knowledge of
specific local conditions and experience has proven to be the best judge in these cases.
1. For plastic conduit (PVC, ABS, Polyethylene) use the following:
Q = 0.0080 x L x D
2. For multiple concrete, clay tile, fibre cement, fibre filled and wood conduit use the following:
Q = 0.0120 x L x D
Where Q = Amount of Techlube FO needed in litres
Where L = The total length of pull in metres
Where D = The inside diameter of the individual conduit in centimetres

Techlube FO Fibre Optic & Sub-Duct Cable Pulling Lubricant

  • 1. TECHLUBE FO FIBRE OPTIC CABLE PULLING LUBRICANT A former product of PT TECHNOLOGIES EUROPE Technical Data Sheet - Fiche Technique Approvals and conformities BELLCORE Requirements for Cable Placing Lubricants/Technical Audit Report AU-NWT-000077 NEXANS Recommended After Compatibility Testing With Nexan Cable Jacket Material All Techlube Lubricants share the same chemistry and main characteristics Techlube FO cable lubricant is a water-based underground cable installation lubricant for fibre optic cable pulling operations. It was engineered to meet the special requirements of pulling inner duct (sub duct), communications, and fibre optic cables. Very effective in long distance, difficult fibre optic cable pulling situations. Its string & cling consistency adheres perfectly to cables in wet weather and has a resistance to wash off in water filled ducts. Techlube FO is a non-flammable, non-toxic and biodegradable cable lubricant with high elasticity for reduced consumption. Easy to apply water-based, high performance cable lubricant Superior friction reduction and strong adhesion to cable/duct wall Regular pulling tension reduces risk of cable damage during the cable pull Dries slowly to form a thin friction reducing film which retains its slip Allows additional cable installs or removals in same duct at a later date Continues to lubricate the cable jacket even in flooded ducts High and low temperature stability Compatibility tested with materials used in cable jackets, cable joints and accessories Does not contain salt, detergent or grease which can degrade cable jackets No threat to environment, spillages can be flushed to drain USES Techlube FO is a high performance, pourable liquid, water polymer lubricant to meet the special requirements of pulling communication and fibre optic cables. Underground fibre optic cable placements Copper and lightweight telecommunication cable installations Sub-duct installations Duct pre-lubrication DIRECTIONS FOR USE Due to the light weight of fibre optic cables and inner-ducts, it is desirable to have as thick and even coating TechlubeFO_10700PGGBDate:19-05-2014Writtenandcheckedby:CL-GH 1/3 Europe - T. +33 297 437 690 Asia - T. +86 021 58131133 Canada- T. +1 450 641 8500 USA- T. +1 817 335 1826 www.socomore.com Tel: +44 (0)191 490 1547 Fax: +44 (0)191 477 5371 Email: northernsales@thorneandderrick.co.uk Website: www.cablejoints.co.uk www.thorneanderrick.co.uk
  • 2. of lubricant on the surface as long as possible. Uneven lubricant coatings with little surface thickness can lead to a dramatic increase of pulling tension over the long run. To obtain maximum friction reduction during a communications cable pull, lubricant should be present at all cable/conduit points of interface. To achieve maximum friction reduction between cable and conduit interface, lubricant should be spread evenly throughout the conduit system. The amount of lubricant required for most inner-duct or fibre optic cable pulls is small (pulling 6.35 mm fibre optic cable into 25.4 mm polyethylene inner-duct for a distance of 305 metres requires only 5.68 litres of Techlube FO (see formula outlined below). Because it is a pourable liquid with a low viscosity, Techlube FO can easily be moved through the long conduit runs associated with inner-duct fibre optic pulls by pushing, spreading or blowing. Any attempt to quantify exactly the amount of lubricant that is needed on any individual installation will fall short of being accurate. In general, experience has revealed that some valid assumptions can be made. Formulas are presented below that have been found to be acceptable for most installations. However, there are field conditions which may require more lubricant than the formulas provide. Knowledge of specific local conditions and experience has proven to be the best judge in these cases. 1. For plastic conduit (PVC, ABS, Polyethylene) use the following: Q = 0.0080 x L x D 2. For multiple concrete, clay tile, fibre cement, fibre filled and wood conduit use the following: Q = 0.0120 x L x D Where Q = Amount of Techlube FO needed in litres Where L = The total length of pull in metres Where D = The inside diameter of the individual conduit in centimetres TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS Appearance . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
