BuntingĀ® Flexible Dies….its like cutting with diamonds

BuntingĀ® Magnetics Co. has launched two new coatings to be used with our Flexible Die products. These options, Diamond and Black Diamond, increase the hardness of our flexible dies to a level not measured by the world-renown Rockwell Scale for Hardness. Also, the new coatings now give our customers three choices to chose from because our standard process is to 100% chemically nickel harden our dies.

These new coatings increase the hardness of our dies to over 2,000 on the Vickers Hardness Scale (over 80 on Rockwell C Scale). This allows our dies to run four times longer than ordinary dies.

Diamond
The Ultimate Choice for die cutting thermal transfer material.

  • Quadruples the life of the die.
  • Good hardness on flexible dies.
  • Corrosion resistant.
  • High resistance to cracking and chipping.
  • Coefficient of Friction 0.35
  • Microhardness 2000-2200

Black Diamond
The Ultimate Choice for reducing die lifting

  • Ideal for small, tight corner die cutting applications.
  • Improves performance of die cutting stamps and small images.
  • Low friction allows flexible die to be used with aggressive adhesives without gumming up the dies.
  • Coefficient of Friction 0.1
  • Microhardness 2000-3000
