A Weekly Summary of Polywater® News of Incredible Importance
Issue #527

SqueekyKleen™ offers an advantage over D'gel™ in solvent exposure.
          Telcom reps: another way to sell new SqueekyKleen Fiber Cleaner against D'gel (as if performance isn't enough!), is to consider the Safety Factor.   SqueekyKleen is more effective than D'gel.   One SqueekyKleen wipe will clean and fan fiber, as opposed to the three D'gel wipes required.   This means more cleaning gets accomplished with less solvent, which translates into reduced solvent exposure through both inhalation and hand contact.   D'gel dries the skin, and its fumes cause headaches and stinging eyes.   SqueekyKleen usage further reduces exposure by eliminating the need to use follow-up wipes of alcohol.   Remember the basics:
  • SqueekyKleen cleans better and faster than D'gel
  • SqueekyKleen eliminates the need for an alcohol wipe.
The second point is a huge key to sales success.   D'gel leaves a residue that must be cleaned with flammable alcohol.   This forces technicians to suffer from longer skin exposure--lots of red, dry, cracked skin.   Plus the alcohol puts yet more vapor into the manhole.   The unhealthy vapors from multiple solvents are a complex safety concern you can sell against.

ClearGlide™ is a mismatch in head-to-head comparison with Polywater® lubricants.
          In a head-to-head comparison with Polywater® Lubricants, Ideal Industries' ClearGlide is something of a lightweight.   To quote our laboratory report ... "Dyna-Blue and Polywater G Lubricants produce a much lower coefficient of friction than Ideal ClearGlide does.   ClearGlide does not perform as well as Polywater G or Dyna-Blue.   The friction coefficient is 25% higher than Dyna-Blue and 13% higher than Polywater G.   This increase in coefficient of friction will have an exponential effect on the pulling tension around bends.   ClearGlide has more residue than Polywater G and Dyna-Blue.   ClearGlide quickly washes off surfaces with water, but this 'easy clean up' will affect pulls in which water may be present.   The lubricant will not cling to the cable and perform its lubricating function, especially on longer, more difficult pulls, when water or humid conditions may be present."   Polywater CLR crushes ClearGlide in similar fashion on friction reduction.   It's sayonara, ClearGlide.

The Friday Fax Editor's Joke of the Week
The Joke
                              More Motivational Poster Truth.   Destiny: You were meant for me ... perhaps as a punishment.   Fear: Until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore, you will not know the terror of being forever lost at sea.   Arrogance: The best leaders inspire by example.   When that's not an option, brute intimidation works pretty well too.   Retirement: Because you've given so much of yourself to the Company that you don't have anything left we can use.   Pressure:   It can turn a lump of coal into a flawless diamond, or an average person into a perfect basketcase.   Elitism: It's lonely at the top, but it's comforting to look down upon everyone at the bottom.   Discovery: A company that will go to the ends of the Earth for its people will find that it can hire them for about 10% of the cost of Americans.   Quality: The race for quality has no finish line, so technically it's more like a death march.   Loneliness: If you find yourself struggling with loneliness, you're not alone, and yet you are alone ... so very alone.   Dreams: Dreams are like rainbows ... only idiots chase them.   Insanity: It's difficult to comprehend how insane some people can be, especially when you're insane.   Compromise: Let's agree to respect each other's views, no matter how wrong yours might be.
