Polywater pulling lubricants
Polywater, a brand with years in the market, are experts in cable pulling. That's why their lubricating gel is a reliable and efficient choice for any project, thanks to its high quality, easy application, and protection.
Therefore, Incom has added the following fiber optic or cable pulling gel presentations to its solutions catalog, which will surely be essential in the work process.
Lubricant J
Polywater J lubricant gel is one of the most widely used products in the industry due to its versatility. This product is water-based, offering a balance between lubrication and ease of cleanup.
These fiber optic pulling lubricants have the following characteristics:
-
Significantly reduces friction, facilitating cable pulling in long and complex conduits.
-
Thanks to its water base, it is easy to clean, simplifying the post-installation process. Additionally, it is non-toxic to the user.
-
It can be applied with brushes, sponges, or directly from the container.
-
It is compatible with a wide range of cables or fiber optics and coatings.
Thanks to its properties, Lubricant J is ideal for pulling cables in ducts, especially in commercial and residential environments, where versatility and ease of use are priorities.
Lubricant F
Lubricant F is the next product available in our catalog. It is a specialized formula designed for cable pulling where superior lubrication is required. Recommended for reducing friction in extreme situations.
Polywater F lubricant gel has the following characteristics:
-
Compared to other lubricants, the F category is superior to other lubricants, making it ideal for pulling in long conduits and sharp bends.
-
Designed to protect cables against wear and damage during the installation process.
-
Resistant to high temperatures and humidity without changing its lubricating properties.
-
Compatible with electrical cables and fiber optics.
Polywater designed this product for demanding industrial and commercial applications, where friction reduction is critical to project success.
Lubricant FTTX
Finally, but not least, Polywater FTTX lubricant is specifically formulated for the installation of fiber optic cables for Fiber to the Home (FTTH) and FTTx (Fiber to the x) applications.
The benefits offered by this fiber optic pulling lubricant are:
-
Minimizes friction, ensuring smooth and efficient installation.
-
It is a non-conductive lubricating gel, meaning it is safe to use in electrical environments, minimizing risks for the installer.
-
Thanks to it being an atomizable lubricant, the cable pulling process becomes one of the cleanest, as its application is cleaner compared to wax and gel lubricants.
-
It is fiber optic friendly, as it does not affect its integrity, maximizing its lifespan and performance.
FTTx lubricant is long-lasting. It offers the lowest tensions in fiber optic cable runs, cable pushing, and data cable and OSP installations, ensuring optimal and efficient performance.

Frequently asked questions.
What is a cable pulling lubricant?
A cable pulling lubricant is a specialized gel to reduce the friction of a cable as it is inserted into a duct or conduit, reducing the friction of pulling it in from end to end.
Why use a pulling lubricant?
A pulling lubricant reduces the tension on the fiber optic or cable during the laying process, which minimizes cable damage, improves installation performance and lifespan, and reduces equipment wear.
What is the coefficient of friction?
The coefficient of friction quantifies the resistance that friction presents to the movement of the cable in contact with the conduit wall. To overcome this resistance and move the cable, a pulling force is necessary.
