Product Review

The Ideal 31-378 is an Aqua-Gel II Lubricant, it is a polymer-based formula that provides maximum tension reduction in high-stress electrical and communication cable-pulling operations. This compound is compatible with all cable types other than composite rubber, it applies easily by hand, brush or pump and cleans easily off of these cables after the job is done with soap and water. It clings to cable through long pulls and remains stable through the high temperature friction from long pulls. After the job this compound dries to a semi-fluid film that wont clog conduit. This product is environmentally safe, it is non-toxic, non-flammable and non-corrosive, however, it is still for outdoor use only. In 1916, J. Walter Becker started the Ideal Commutator Dresser Company of Chicago from his mother's kitchen. He manufactured Commutator dresser stones with the belief that every product should be worth more than the price paid for it. Service, he said, was part of the product. That idea has been the core IDEAL business principle for over 90 years. Today, the many loyal distributors and customers that make IDEAL successful are a testament to Becker's original philosophy.
