Selection Guide
Virgin Resin / Low Fill
HSS or D2 blades provide cost-effective performance for unfilled polyolefins, PET, and nylons.
Glass or Mineral Filled
Tungsten carbide required for glass content above 10%. Provides 3-5x longer blade life over HSS.
Recycled Feedstock
Use TC blades with contamination-resistant geometry. Pre-screen feedstock to remove metal tramp.
Matching to Die Plate
Blade and die plate must be replaced together for optimal face contact. Contact us for matched sets.
