GLISS® Overcomes Boundaries: The Cutting-Edge Lubricant for Limitless Cable Installations

By August 23, 2024No Comments

Gliss is a water-based lubricant developed, maintained, and produced by Carima Srl. Thanks to its chemical-physical properties, it represents the pinnacle of tools for facilitating the installation of various types of cables in any production environment, both industrial and civil. Its success and consequent positioning at the top of the list of the most effective sliding products are due to its unique characteristics.

Why Gliss Represents the Vanguard of Cable Lubricants

Originally designed to reduce friction during the installation of telephone cables in anti-theft systems, Gliss has proven itself over time and through use by specialized companies, technicians, and workers to be an essential partner in the installation processes such as threading and pulling electrical cables in civil engineering.
Its distinctive liquid formula allows for a 70% reduction in friction percentage, standing out for its ease of use and the results achieved even in dense cabling situations, a direct consequence of its properties.

Moreover, the variety of formulations available—gel, liquid, and spray—along with its different versions, such as Gliss Gel, Gliss F, and Gliss W, are designed to cover all operational needs in every production sector.

Chemical-Physical Properties of Gliss

Its very fluid viscosity, combined with a usable temperature range from -10 to +40 degrees Celsius and non-toxicity, outlines the spectrum of applications for this innovative lubricant product. It maintains its characteristics for a long time, allowing professionals to perform both routine and extraordinary maintenance easily, as well as to add other cables inside the conduit or guide.

Thanks to its molecular structure, it also protects the cable from aging and corrosive agents.

Applications of Gliss

The sector in which Gliss shows all its potential is civil electrical installations, thanks to its ease of use and adaptability, coupled with the achieved friction reduction percentage.

Ease of Use

Gliss is easy to apply in both new and existing installations: in the former case, the lubricant can be sprayed directly onto the cables before insertion or poured into the housing before positioning (the latter method is recommended for new cable insertions).
For pulling out, it is poured into the conduit containing the cable, and after allowing the product to act and reach the point where a blockage has occurred, the extraction can proceed.

If Gliss comes into contact with materials such as marble, carpet, or parquet during its use, the resulting stains can be removed using common fabric stain removers available in stores.

Versatility

The ease of use discussed in the previous paragraph, combined with its effectiveness and absolute compatibility with all types of cables, makes Gliss a highly versatile and indispensable product for professionals in the electrical sector.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Gliss® by Carima Srl represents excellence in the field of cable lubricants, offering innovative and versatile solutions for every type of installation. With its cutting-edge formulations, Gliss® ensures a significant reduction in friction, while also protecting cables from corrosive agents and aging. Whether for new or existing systems, Gliss® remains an indispensable ally for technicians and professionals in the electrical industry, enhancing efficiency and versatility in every operational context. Choosing Gliss® means overcoming boundaries and ensuring limitless cable installations.
