Rochling Hydroma & Manufacturers Supplies Company have been a reliable partner for the manufacture & supply of pure polypropylene cutting pads & boards for cutting soft & semi-rigid materials for many decades.  Whenever the cutting of synthetic materials is involved, Rochling Hydroma & MSC are present – be it as an initial equipment provider for die cutting machines or with the users for replacement demands.

Optimum Cutting Results

In the material selection and manufacturing processes, Rochling Hydroma inserts their special knowledge into the products, the objective being an optimum cutting result, maximum accuracy and long service life of both the cutting pad & cutting tool.    The surfaces of Hydroma® cutting pads & boards are smooth on both sides, bright-pressed or planed as standard, or roughened on one side for bonding a plywood block base or similar substrate.

Benefits of Cast Cutting Pads & Boards

• High quality cutting surface to decrease tool wear, increase pad wear and deliver cleaner cuts.
• Manufacturing process involves longer cycle times of heating & cooling the PP material.
• Higher degree of parallelism tolerance and significantly reduce tension which eliminates the bowing effect commonly seen with extruded plastic pads.
• Cast polypropylene  cutting boards are specifically designed for die cutting applications and are proven to provide better cutting quality, increased pad wear, better tooling wear which equates to less defective parts & increased production.

Hydroma® Cutting Boards are available in all dimensions & thicknesses commonly encountered in the market for a variety of die cutting equipment manufacturers.
