Polywater SPY Sprayable Lubricant | Cable Pulling
Polywater SPY Sprayable Lubricant | Cable Pulling
Polywater SPY Sprayable Cable Pulling Lubricant is a high-performance, mess-free solution engineered for underground and building wire installations. Its unique thin-film formula reduces friction and pulling tension on all types of cables, including pre-lubricated, THHN, and XHHW. The convenient sprayable design allows fast, uniform application using pressurized or hand-trigger sprayers.
Once applied, SPY thickens and clings to cable and conduit surfaces to provide continuous lubrication throughout the pull. Even after drying, it continues to reduce friction, offering long-lasting performance with minimal residue—less than 3% compared to traditional wax lubricants.
Key Features
- Lowers Pulling Tension – Reduces friction on pre-lubricated, THHN, and XHHW cables for safer, easier pulls.
- Thin-Film Technology – Coats and clings to cables for extended lubrication without slippage.
- Clean, Zero-Mess Formula – Dries quickly and leaves cable ends clean, ensuring easy terminations.
- Simple Spray Application – Applies easily using trigger or pressurized sprayers for fast coverage.
- UL/ULc Listed – Certified for both U.S. and Canadian standards of safety and performance.
Additional Benefits
- Passes IEEE 1210 physical and electrical testing for compatibility with most cable materials.
- Provides friction coefficients as low as 0.06 on XLPE (XHHW) and 0.08 on Nylon (THHN).
- Maintains lubrication even after drying, keeping dry COF values within 20% of initial readings.
- Available in a winter-grade version (WSPY) for temperatures down to -20 °F (-30 °C).
Polywater SPY offers an efficient, clean, and professional-grade solution for reducing cable pulling tension and improving installation speed. Ideal for underground conduit systems and building wire work, it delivers reliable, long-term lubrication that continues to perform after drying.
