Die-thane brand urethane press brakes dies were developed specificaly for sheet metal fabricating & tooling applications. Die-Thane brand dies are a special breed of high performance thermo-set elastomers, compounded specifically for sheet metal forming applications, characterized by:
• Extra toughness and durability
• Excellent Resilience
• Very High Load Bearing Capacity
• High Tear Strength and Cut Resistance
• Low Compression set
• Very Good Impact Resistance
• Outstanding Abrasion Resistance
• Good Machinability
• Impervious To Oil and Ozone
Die-Thanes - High Performance Elastomers
For demanding Press Brake tooling, specifying a compound by durometer is not appropriate. It should be based on the amount of deflection. For this reason, our compounds are designed by the Maximum allowable deflection.
Die-Thane Tooling's are available in 6 color-coded grades
NO-MAR BRAKE DIE FILM is our trade name for a line of high performance Urethane Film, available in various thicknesses and widths in 100 Ft. long rolls.

Die-Thane V-Dies or Urethane V-Dies are molded to shape, using the hard grade high performance Urethane compound DT-15. They are designed for air-bending 90 degree bends or acute angle bends.
Angles as shown are molded and cannot be altered
V Dies• Scratch Free bending for polished and pre-finished surfaces. |
2V Dies• For European Style Machines, the 2-V Die can be used with a quick change rail, mounted on a 2-V Die holder. • For American Style Machines, the 2-V Die can be used with a special rail. The 2V Dies are designed for Air bending only. |
Four-way Dies are made of the hardest grade of Die-thane. These are designed to be used in a steel holder.
Four-way Dies are the most economical way of bending 90° bends in pre-polished or pre-coated metals.

Hemming Die Pad is used for 2 hit single set-up hemming die.
For Hemming in two strokes on 18 Ga. and lighter M.S. using a steel Hemming Punch. With the first hit, a 30° angle bend is made. The part is then pulled up and tilted and the slanted side of the punch flattens the hem.

Die-thane die pads function as universal female dies. The same bottom die can be used with a variety of materials, gauges, and punches to form different shapes, radii and angles.
Wear pads are used to prevent cutting by the sheet metal or punch, thus prolonging pad life.
