Conjac 300/700

The NETIS registered lubricant is this product only. It is a gel-like lubricant that reduces friction between the structure and the ground in pipe jacking, shield, and caisson methods. It suppresses friction regardless of soil type, from aquifers to dry layers.

Distinctive feature

This agent is a filler with a unique DDS (Drug Delivery System) function that steadily releases slippery components over an extended period. It enables long-term maintenance of low thrust, not only in water-bearing layers but also in anhydrous layers, which have previously been considered difficult to manage.

How to use

  1. Pour 199 L of clean water into the mixer.
  2. While stirring the mixer, gradually add one bag of Conjac in small amounts.
    Stop stirring after 15 to 20 minutes. (Do not stir for more than 20 minutes.)
  3. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may affect the lubricating effect, so it is recommended to cover the mixer with a lid.

Calculation of Jacking Force

We calculate the jacking force at your site using the jacking force reduction coefficient derived from the construction performance of the Conjac. Please feel free to consult us first.

Frequently asked questions

Is it effective even in a dry gravel layer (a stratum without groundwater where the lubricant is absorbed into the ground and lost)?
It enables long-term maintenance of low jacking force not only in aquifers but also in dry gravel layers, which have been considered challenging until now.
The groundwater has a high salinity concentration. Would this still be acceptable?
Please send 1–2 liters of groundwater to our company before starting construction. We will propose the most suitable lubricant for each site.
