PLASTIC MOULD MATERIALS
Plastic Moulding is a part of our everyday lives. Car parts, mobile phones, spectacles, computer chassis are all manufactured by moulds. However, the materials needed to make these moulds often require unique and demanding characteristics. This is why it is crucial to select the correct steel grade for your specific mould. Below is a list of our BÖHLER and Uddeholm plastic mould steels that offer premium solutions to cater to the most demanding manufacturing requirements.
