Cutting dies

The cutting die is an important part of sample preparation of rubber and plastic. It is crucial that the cutting die is flawless and will give you excellent samples when you cut. The smallest nick in the sample could cause a failure that will represent your sample preparation instead of your materials properties. Elastocon offers specimen cutting dies, EP 04, manufactured in both standard and special shapes.
