In 1973, Nelson Jonnes, a Minnesota research chemist with more than a dozen patents under his belt, threw together some slippery ingredients in his basement and began selling it as a SCUBA diving-suit lubricant. It was well received, but the potential income from that alone could not support his family of six. With a quick change of marketing focus in 1974, the fledgling company began selling the same technology to the telcom and power utility markets in the form of a unique, water-based cable pulling lubricant. It revolutionized the industry, which until then had used mud, wax, and grease. Polywater® Cable Pulling Lubricants have been the leaders ever since. Over the years, the Polywater® line expanded greatly. Today, in addition to its sixteen different formulations of pulling lubes for every type of wire and cable imaginable, the product line includes a broad range of cleaners and other specialty chemicals. These include cable cleaners, contact cleaners, general electrical cleaners, water-based degreasers, foaming cleaners, hot stick and boom truck cleaners, fiberglass wax and buffing kits, penetrating oils, wasp killer, cold galvanizing spray, aerosol dusters, cable removal aids, cable blowing lubricant, cable pulling software, training videos, MRO aerosols, pipe joint lubricant, pump packing installation lubricants, conduit de-icers, directional drilling fluid additives, lubricant applicators, lubricant spreaders, cable handling gloves, duct sealants, winter-grade lubricants for cold weather applications, and a host of other unique chemicals and accessories. American Polywater's horizon has expanded fast too. Today, in addition to the telephony and power utility markets, its products are sold into the general electrical trades, CATV, MRO industrial, and data communications markets in over fifty countries worldwide. Strong distributor alliances, technical expertise, and more than two decades' experience in cable placement, lubrication and cleaning, make the simple motto,
