MoldMax provides strength and wear resistance similar to that of many tool steels and a thermal conductivity that is three to four times greater than steel and comparable to aluminum. MoldMad is typically specified for full cavity and core inserts, blow mold pinch offs, neck rings and handle inserts; cavity and core sub inserts; injection mold components; and hot runner system injection nozzles and manifolds.
