Introducing our newest innovation - SILICORE® ULF - Ultra-Low Friction lining that allows cable to be installed safer, faster, and farther than ever before.
Ultra-Low Friction Lining by Dura-Line®
Dura-Line's SILICORE® ULF is an ultra-low friction, permanent, co-extruded lining that allows cable to be installed safer, faster, and farther than ever. The super-slick, non-greasy lining boasts a greater than 60% lower coefficient of friction1 than standard HDPE conduit. Testing at Dura-Line's state-of-the-art, world-class test track has shown that you can air-jet fiber optic cable into a MicroDuct lined with SILICORE ULF almost 5 times farther2 than without it.

3All testing performed at Dura-Line's Eagle Way Test Track in Clinton, TN (USA) from Nov. 29 - Dec. 2, 2022, with MicroDucts and conduits installed in the ground over a 2700-ft (823 m) loop with multiple handholes. Note: Your results may vary, as many factors influence jetting distances (e.g., bends in pathway, gravity, weather, etc.).
