Features of Lube - A - Tube

  • Being a soft, paste lubricant, Lube - A - Tube is easy to apply and "stays put" in the tube prior to the actual rolling operation - it will not run like oil.
  • No chance of entering between the tube sheet and tube end OD.
  • Will not carbonize under the heat and pressure encountered during the tube rolling operation.
  • Lube - A - Tube is its own indicator serving to show the operator what tubes are still to be expanded, eliminating the possibility of missed tubes.
  • Lube - A - Tube keeps the expanding tool cool and prolongs tool life.
  • Equally effective for rolling condenser tubes, boiler tubes and heavy wall cracking still tubes in refining equipment.
  • Lube - A - Tube is available in 1000ml and 5000ml plastic buckets/pails.
