ES Multiform SL – special grade

The positive properties of construction steel and tool steel were merged to a multi-use material. Due to its reduced percentage of nickel, the steel is unrivalled among its competitors.

Product features

• Stable mechanical parameters
• Completely suitable for graining
• Good machinability
• High degree of heat conductivity

ES Aktuell 1200 – special grade

Plastic mould steel with a uniform high hardness over the cross section, also for lager dimensions

Greater Reliability and Higher Productivity in Plastics Processing
If optimal graining suitability as well as high production and process reliability are called for, this is when you want to use ES AKTUELL 1200. Due to the optimized properties of ES AKTUELL 1200, by applying this steel grade you get maximum security and increase the cost-effectiveness of your production

Product features
