About

alpharim polymers GmbH manufactures plastic parts for the automotive industry that shows no brittle break.

These parts are also used in heavy stamping tools, as this solid polymer material does not show brittle fracture when used as a spring relief block and does not endanger workers on the press. This significantly increases the safety for workers at the press. The alpharim 1500 material serves as a substitute for wood, metal or other various plastics.

If relief blocks made of other materials are unintentionally not removed from the tool before they are put into operation, they can be subjected to severe stress. This can lead to explosive bursting.

To increase the safety of workers, alpharim 1500 is now used worldwide as a relief block.
