Abstract
A water soluble cable lubricating composition and method involves a lubricant in liquid or gel form that possesses the ability to adhere to the surface to be lubricated. The composition includes an aqueous solution of from about 1 to 4% of a water soluble cellulose derivative, such as carboxymethyl cellulose, and from about 1/2 to 2% of polyacrylamide. The lubricant may also include a hygroscopic agent such as ethylene glycol to prevent the lubricant from drying out too rapidly in use.
