The Ideal 31-378 is an Aqua-Gel II Lubricant, it is a polymer-based formula that provides maximum tension reduction in high-stress electrical and communication cable-pulling operations. This compound is compatible with all cable types other than composite rubber, it applies easily by hand, brush or pump and cleans easily off of these cables after the job is done with soap and water. It clings to cable through long pulls and remains stable through the high temperature friction from long pulls.
