Application: 
A properly installed Duct system with Pressure-tight Duct splices is an absolute necessity for efficient cable blowing. Follow the equipment manufacturer’s instructions. The Duct must be clean, dry, and mandrel tested. Clean the Duct by blowing a tight-fitting foam sponge through the Duct with high Pressure. If excess water or dirt comes from the Duct, repeat the process. Prelube 2000™ is effective at a coating thickness of 0.5mg/cm².
For smooth-wall Duct and high air speed machines (no missile), squeeze the recommended amount of Prelube 2000™ Lubricant from the table below into the Duct. Spread the lubricant by blowing a foam carrier through the Duct. The quart squeeze bottle is a good package for this type of application.
For smooth-wall Duct (ID 1 to 1.25 in.) and piston type machines, use 5 to 10 fl oz per thousand feet of Duct (0.5 to 1.0 liter per kilometer). Place 75% of the lubricant in front of the missile and the rest behind it. The lubricant is spread by the missile as the cable is blown.
The quantities of lubricant appropriate for any job will vary with the size, type, and condition of the Duct. Use the recommendations above as a place to start and adjust as necessary.
