Reduces sticking: increases slip
Provides excellent material distribution
Ideal for high-heat, high strength tooling
Syntac® 450 epoxy composite tooling material a temperature resistant material for forming packaging with high strength and clarity and maintains its hardness right up to the maximum running temperature while exhibiting excellent abrasion resistance. Syntac® 450 is forming higher temperature plastics, especially when trying to maintain clarity.
Elimination of swirl and chill marks
Syntac® 450 is easily machined using standard shop tools and offers a lightweight, durable and cost effective alternative to wood, felt and aluminum.
