Cable Pulling Lubricant
Benefits of Polywater J Cable Pulling Lubricant
- Excellent Friction Reduction- Reduces friction in conduit bends
- Non-Staining & Easy Clean up- Water based minimizes clean-up time.
- Field-Friendly- Can be pumped, hand applied, or distributed by Front End Pack™ .
- Temperature Stable- No ruined lubricant from freeze/thaw or high-temperature exposure.
- High Cling Factor- Stays on cable jacket during application.
- Proven- Used for three decades in underground & industrial cable pulls.
- Slow Drying- Lubricant J dries in thin lubricating film that retains lubricity for months
- UL Listed, meets LEED® & Green Seal criteria- The residue does not burn or spread flame.
- Polywater J package- Regular Grade J and Winter Grade WJ (for cold weather use in temperatures as low as -20°F (-30°C)). A pourable version of Polywater J (PJ) is also available inThe Front End Pack™ is a conduit-sized polyethylene bag of lubricant that travels through the conduit on the winch line or pull rope, pre-lubricating the conduit ahead of the cable being pulled. Polywater J can be pumped using the LP-D5 Drill-Powered Pump.
