Metalfast are proud to announce that we now stock a full range of FORTAL ALUMINIUM MOULD PLATE.

Fortal was designed specifically to prolong the working life of plastic injection mould tools, and is also used in a variety of high strength tooling applications. Fortal plate is manufactured with very little internal stress and so is extremely stable when machined. Coupled with it’s very high corrosion resistance and extremely high strength, it’s no surprise that Fortal has been used successfully by European mould makers for the last 15 years and that large tonnage's are sold in France, Germany and Italy.
