3M™ Wire Pulling Lubricant Winter grade is a translucent green polymer gel that has been modified for use and storage in temperatures as low as 10 degrees Fahrenheit (-12 degrees Celsius), making it the right choice for cold weather applications. The lubricant produces a low coefficient of friction that lessens the chance of wire damage from high pulling forces. It wipes off the cable quickly and cleanly before terminating, or splicing common wire and cable jackets. It is also easy to apply and does not leave stains.
