The new range of boards has been thoroughly tested in the market and is now available for sale. The in-house production not only provides an improved level of choice and service for customers but the enhanced range has also strengthened Ebalta’s offering for mould and model making applications.

The new board is named PW 920, its applications are likely to be:- model making, core boxes, pattern plates and jigs. It features much improved abrasion resistance as well as higher impact strength and flexural strength. It does not contain any abrasive fillers and can be milled very well without the formation of any dust. This results in models and moulds with a perfect surface, distinguished by this exceptional level of quality.
