WL Wire Pulling Lubricant Data Sheet ® LR 108775 1. Product Description 3M™ Wire Pulling Lubricant is a translucent white polymer gel which produces a low coefficient of friction for smooth, low tension wire and cable pulling. A low coefficient of friction makes cable pulling easier and safer with less chance for cable jacket damage from high pulling forces. The lubricant is easy to handle and apply. The material is colorless and non-staining and affords quick and easy cleanup. The low solids content means less conduit blocking if additional pulls are required. The 3M Wire Lubricant is available in four sizes.
