The coefficient of dry friction can be altered by adding silicone-based additive to wire jacket material , lowering pulling force and increasing job productivity. The wire industry trend is to make wire slicker (often too slick) which brings about control issues in high rise construction projects as well as bulging or drooping wire between wire trays on long horizontal runs.

At United Copper Industries, we have conducted extensive jobsite research and received input from electrical contractors to develop just the right amount of slick. Our SLK slick wire glides through wire trays and slips around corners while providing contractors with added control over the wire run from loading to termination. Experience the perfect balance between slick and control. On your next job, specify SLK by United Copper Industries . You will like the controllability.

Whether our changes are big or small, they’re all intended to improve the United Copper Industries products for the distributor, the contractor and the ultimate user--the homeowner or building occupants. At United Copper Industries we’re always thinking about better ways to manufacture our building wire and better ways to serve our customers.

Premium Quality Products. Excellent Customer Service. Fair Competitive Pricing. Put them together and they introduce a new level of reliability in a highly volatile marketplace.

That’s Exceptional. That’s Premium. That’s the way we do business at the new United Copper Industries
