3M WLX-QT Wire Pulling Lubricant 1Qt 71,000 cps

SKU CH-98GH-VVK7N

Wire pulling lubricant with a wax-based emulsion that works from 10F to 194F and is UL listed 98UL

  • Reduces pulling friction with wax-based emulsion
  • Operates reliably from 10F to 194F temperature range
  • Safe for semi-conducting cable jackets
  • UL Listed 98UL and UL Approved for compliance
  • Smooth film applies by hand, pump or squeeze bottle

3M WLX-QT Wire Pulling Lubricant

This wax-based emulsion lubricant comes in a 32 oz container and is designed for pulling a wide variety of cable types. It is compatible with semi-conducting materials and carries UL Listed 98UL and UL Approved standards. The gray lubricant operates across a temperature range of 10F to 194F.

Application methods and common issues

The lubricant can be squeezed, pumped, or hand applied for flexible installation. Its low-solids, smooth film formulation reduces friction during cable pulls. Problems typically arise if the product freezes below 10F or exceeds 194F, which can alter the 1.01 specific gravity and film consistency.

Wax-based emulsion limitations

The wax-based emulsion provides temperature-stable lubrication within the stated 10F to 194F range. It is not intended for applications outside this thermal window or for cable types not listed as compatible. The 71,000 cps viscosity suits general wire pulling but may not meet specialised low-friction requirements.

Highlights

  • Reduces pulling friction with wax-based emulsion
  • Operates reliably from 10F to 194F temperature range
  • Safe for semi-conducting cable jackets
  • UL Listed 98UL and UL Approved for compliance
  • Smooth film applies by hand, pump or squeeze bottle

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the lubricant is performing correctly after applying it to the cable?

The film should feel smooth on the wire and the pull tension should remain steady from 10F to 194F without binding or residue buildup.

What does the 1-quart container include and are any extra tools required for application?

The 32 oz bottle contains the gray wax-based emulsion; it can be squeezed, pumped or hand applied so no separate dispenser is mandatory.

When should I choose the 71,000 cps viscosity grade instead of a different 3M pulling lubricant?

Select the 71,000 cps version when you need a temperature-stable, low-solids formula that is UL Listed 98UL and compatible with semi-conducting cable jackets.
