Mate Eliminator™ (patents pending) punch tip lubrication pads assist in keeping the punch tip lubricated during the punching process. Studies have shown that properly lubricated punch tips help extend tool life and keep the punch from overheating. In many situations, lubrication helps eliminate unwanted galling during the punching process.

Mate Eliminator™ lubrication pads are easy to install, especially on Mate UltraTEC® A and B stations. Simply use the punch and stripper to “punch” the hole into the foam. Saturate the pad with 46-68 ISO viscosity hydraulic oil and you’re ready for gall-free punching.
