Opaque gel formulated for tube bending applications

Metal Mates JL-12 is an opaque gel formulated specifically for tube bending applications. Users can pump or hand-apply the lubricant directly to the tube or bending mandrels to leave a clean coating on the mandrel that will not build up over time.

Designed to stay where it is applied, the lubricant can be cleaned before painting or plating, and no cleaning is required before welding. It is designed to help reduce consumption and improve housekeeping, as well as tool and mandrel life.

Supplied ready to use, the lubricant is available in 5-gal. and 55-gal. containers.
