TYRAX ESR
The Perfect Choice For Injection Moulding Biocomposites
Sustainability is now something that almost everyone is aware of and discusses around the globe, from large companies to private individuals. In the plastic moulding industry, biocomposites offer a sustainable path forward for many manufacturers. Biocomposites are bio-based fibres, such as cellulose or flax, and serve as a green alternative filler material, replacing the commonly used glass fibre or calcium carbonate. However, biocomposites also impose demands on the tool steel in our applications, with the combination of wear and corrosion presenting as the trickiest riddle to solve.
Tyrax ESR is a premium stainless tool steel developed for the most demanding injection moulding applications. It is known for its corrosion resistance, high polishability, and good ductility, combined with a working hardness of 56-58 HRC. It is highly recommended for use with biocomposites in plastic injection moulding.
