Pulling Lubricant Compatibility
Pulling Lubricant Compatibility lookup table with assumptions and boundary notes.
Scope
Lubricant label planning only. It does not approve lubricant use for a specific cable, raceway, temperature, or pull condition.
Lookup table
Compare common pulling lubricant families by typical cable jacket context and catalogue boundary.
Scroll sideways to keep row labels aligned with hidden columns.
| Lubricant family | Typical cable context | Catalogue cue | Boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wax-based | building wire and common thermoplastic cable jackets | common wire-pulling lubricant family | compatibility planning only; cable and lubricant manufacturer data governs field application |
| Polymer gel | longer conduit pulls and mixed cable jackets | low-residue pulling lubricant family | compatibility planning only; cable and lubricant manufacturer data governs field application |
| Foam | vertical or overhead raceway pulls | cling-style pulling lubricant family | compatibility planning only; cable and lubricant manufacturer data governs field application |
| Specialty low-temperature | cold-weather pulling conditions | temperature-rated lubricant family | compatibility planning only; cable and lubricant manufacturer data governs field application |
Notes
- Check table values for preliminary lookup and arithmetic checks only.
- Confirm equipment ratings, product markings, installation conditions, utility requirements, and the local authority requirements before design or field use.
