Acro-Hyde™, a urethane die film, prevents die marks on a wide range of materials including painted, stainless, aluminum and other polished stocks. Manufacturing costs will be reduced significantly because the film eliminates secondary polishing or having to scrap expensive blanks. Simply cut Acro-Hyde™ to length, lay it on top of the bottom die and secure one side with Double-faced Clamping Tape. Acro-Hyde™ is perfect for metalworking shops, fabrication centers or any industrial application where additional marks and scratches are not desired. This is the industry secret and nobody does it better than Acrotech Inc. Exclusive and only available here. Accept no imitations.

Below you will see an example of just how easy it is to use AcroHyde™ and how simple and effective it is. This urethane film was created specifically for the tool and die field. A natural concept for urethane’s properties. Easy to handle, robust, economical and results are exactly what you are wanting when bending metal. In most cases making bends in metal can result in a high scrap rate. If you end up marring up the edges / scratching the surface to something undesirable you will lose both time and money. Giving AcroHyde™ a shot will certainly change your mind. Please follow our small demonstration below and see for yourself.
View our YouTube Demo to see how big of a difference .015″ thick Acrohyde is able to make when bending 18 Gauge polished stainless steel sheet metal. Absolutely no marks when the Acrohyde is used.
Look at the difference! Absolutely no marks in the aluminum. The Acro-Hyde™ certainly does it’s job when placed in the die. There is no difference regarding bend radius. The hard part is done, no clean up of the part and Acro-Hyde™ is ready to use again and again. Multiple and repetitive parts are easily made before Acro-Hyde™ needs to be replaced.
