SILICONE-BASED Polywater® +Silicone™ Cable Pulling Lubricants

Type NN™ is a clean, slow-drying, silicone-based cable pulling lubricant. Type NN™ offers superior friction reduction and is ideally suited for use with silicone-lined and prelubed duct. Non-stringy Type NN™ pours and pumps easily, and is suitable for use with all common* cable jacket types. Research has shown that Type NN™ out performs all other lubricants in water-filled ducts. Type NN™ is the correct choice for pulling cable in wet environments.

Type WNN™ is a winter-grade Type NN™.

Type NB™ is Type NN™ with small frictionless rollers added. Choose Type NN™ for pulling through water-filled conduits.

Type WNB™ is winter-grade Type NB™.
