Die makers grease is a specialized lubricant used to reduce friction and wear on critical moving die components, especially guide pins, bushings, die sets and other close-tolerance areas.

It’s essential in environments with high pressure and high-speed movement, such as tool and die shops, stamping operations and industrial settings across the automotive, farm and marine industries.

Why use die makers grease?

Without proper lubrication, your metal parts can wear prematurely or corrode, which leads to downtime, reduced part accuracy and costly repairs. Die makers grease can help prevent these issues by forming a protective film that reduces metal-to-metal contact.

Regular application of die makers grease also helps to prevent rust and oxidation which improves the life of the tooling and keeps your machines running efficiently.

How to use die makers grease?

Clean the contact surfaces to remove old grease, metal shavings or debris. Apply a thin, even layer of grease to the needed areas. Don’t overdo it. Reapply as needed, especially after cleaning or extended use.
