EnduraBend tool coating

When bending galvanized sheet metal, stainless steel, or aluminium, galling can be a significant issue. It causes marks on the sheet metal, inaccurate bends, and products getting stuck in the V-opening of the bottom tool. While intensive and frequent cleaning can help, it is a costly extra step and may lead to tool wear. EnduraBend coated tooling offers a real and proven solution.

What is EnduraBend?

EnduraBend is a versatile and durable tool coating designed to minimize galling during bending, especially in challenging situations where galvanized sheet metal, aluminium or stainless steel are processed. This innovative coating is the result of extensive WILA research into galling, creating the optimal surface and material properties for WILA CNC-Deephardened tooling.

OZU-ZN coating

Are you only bending galvanized sheet metal? Then check out our OZU-ZN coating. Contrary to EnduraBend, WILA OZU-ZN coating is specifically designed to prevent the build-up of zinc deposits on tooling. OZU-ZN coating may be less versatile than EnduraBend but is a more cost-effective way to prevent galling.
