The Ideal Lube Guide

  Ideal Yellow 77   Ideal Clear Glide   Ideal Aqua Gel  
  44 years of optimum cable protection and lubricity. The wax-based formula remains the finest, general-purpose lubricant in the industry.   The high-tech, 100% clear polymer-based formula makes for super-fast pulls, quick and no-mess clean-up. For indoor, retrofit and delicate datacomm pulls.   Polymer-based Aqua-Gel II combines maximum tension reduction with quick and easy application. Dries slowly keeping long pulls simple from start to finish. Great for the big job. For cold weather applications, Aqua-Gel CW for as low as 28°F.
