Wire Pulling Lubricants

3M's wire pulling lubricants offer reliable performance and when applied to cable, they reduce the coefficient of friction so wire pulling is a manageable task. A variety of types and packaging are available for various application conditions to give the user the right lubricant for the job at hand. 3M's wire pulling lubricants handle virtually any environment from high pulling forces to extreme temperature and moisture changes. These lubricants are excellent for pulling a wide variety of electrical and communication cable. They wipe off the cable quickly and cleanly before terminating or splicing. They also have a low coefficient of friction which lessens the chance of cable jacket damage from high pulling forces.
