The present invention provides a magnetic viscous fluid comprising a magnetic particle, at least one selected from ester base synthetic oil, ether base synthetic oil, and alkylnaphthalene having an alkyl group with 10 to 20 carbons, an inorganic cation exchanger with a siloxane bond, and silicone oil.

The present invention provides a magnetic viscous fluid comprising a magnetic particle, base oil, an inorganic cation exchanger with a siloxane bond, and silicone oil. A difference AB between a solubility parameter A of the base oil and a solubility parameter B of the silicone oil is 1.3 (cal/cm.sup.3).sup.1/2 or more.

A composition and method for reducing the coefficient of friction and required pulling force of a wire or cable are provided. A composition of aqueous emulsion is provided that is environmentally friendly, halogen free and solvent free. The composition is compatible with various types of insulating materials and may be applied after the wire or cable is cooled and also by spraying or submerging the wire or cable in a bath. The composition contains lubricating agents that provide lower coefficient of friction for wire or cable installation and continuous wire or cable surface lubrication thereafter.
