Tool Steel Plastic Mold Steel

Description
An increase in productivity in high-tech mould-making can only be achieved by
using mould steels with materials properties trimmed specifically towards the
intended use. Due to the increased share of glass-fiber reinforced plastics,
BÖHLER M340 ISOPLAST is also increasingly suitable for this kind of processing.
In addition, this grade also provides good food resistance. Approvals for the food
industry are available from voestalpine BÖHLER Edelstahl.

Property Features
