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.
Today Polywater® manufactures products for high voltage splice preparation, hot-stick cleaners and wax, utility boom truck cleaners and wax, adhesives for HDPE conduits, sealants for leaking oil and SF6 gas transformers, foam duct sealants for conduits, rubber goods cleaner and fiberglass basement patch kits.
