Over many years in the past rubber was used for metal forming work mostly with indifferent results because of insufficient mechanical resilience and susceptibility to damage by workshop lubricants. FIBROFLEX a polyurethane elastomer of very special properties represents a synthetic material of significant advantages over all coventional rubber substances. It provides highest resistance to rupturing outstanding elastic properties extensive life span when used correctly good thermal resilience inertness to all lubricants used in metal forming operations. To the designer of forming- and shearing dies FIBROFLEX offers highly attractive solutions to many a tooling problem - as for instance the completion in one operation of intricate return flanges etc. Special mention ought to be made here of the specific suitability this elastomer exhibits in the forming of delicate surface-coated or surface-refined sheet metal. The quite outstanding elastic properties of FIBROFLEX have made it an almost indispensable material in toolrooms everywhere and also in many sectors of general engineering. Its numerous successful uses comprise bumper stops strippers ejector- and forming pads spring elements as well as noise supression applications. FIBROFLEX Forming Elastomers available in three Shore hardnesses to suit different conditions are supplied in a comprehensive range of sections hollow and .
