3M wire pulling lubricant features a stringy and clingy material composition that evenly forms a coating on wires. This lubricant gel withstands a wide temperature range of 20 to 120 deg f (-6.7 to 49 deg C). It avoids stress cracks on the low density polyethylene jacketing materials that are commonly used in communication-type cables. This lubricant reduces the cable tension for long fiber-optic pulls, multiple bend pulls and pulls in hot environments.
