We've created three product comparison tools to make it easier to compare our tooling board materials.

Selecting the right tooling board means considering key material properties such as density and heat resistance. Our tools let you compare up to four products and view those properties side by side to find the perfect match for your application.

The tools include:

• Epoxy Product Comparison Tool
• Low vs Medium Density PU Product Comparison Tool
• Medium vs High Density PU Product Comparison Tool

Explore all three tools and compare products when you sign up to our members' area: https://buff.ly/Gg3M34H

We're the strategic partner of choice for leading aerospace manufacturers thanks to our high-performance tooling materials, technical expertise and collaborative approach. 🛩️

Our work with Slovenian aerospace manufacturer ElevonX is a great example of this approach in practice. When previous tooling boards failed to meet the requirements of a high-precision carbon fibre project, ElevonX came to Base Materials for support. 🆘

By working together to understand the application requirements, our BE978 epoxy tooling board was identified as the right material for the project. The result? ElevonX described BE978 as “the best tooling board we’ve used”. 🏆️🏆️

Our sustainability journey extends beyond our own operations.

As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability, we're taking action to reduce our environmental impact while also supporting initiatives including carbon offsetting, reforestation and biodiversity. 🌍️

Through our partnership with Evertreen, we've launched a tree-planting programme supporting reforestation, biodiversity and local employment across multiple regions. 🌱🌳👷‍♀️

We've selected projects in areas connected to where we live and operate, where our customers are based, and where climate change is having a significant impact on biodiversity. 💚

🌐 The programme also supports several of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, including Climate Action, Responsible Consumption and Production, and Decent Work and Economic Growth.

We're featured in the September edition of Composites UK Industry Insights, exploring why technical partnership is becoming more important as manufacturing requirements become increasingly complex.

From choosing the right material to refining tooling design and manufacturing processes, the article explores how early engineering input and technical collaboration help reduce material consumption and machining time, avoid costly rework and improve performance, efficiency and sustainability.

We also share our project with Slovenian aerospace specialist ElevonX, demonstrating this approach in practice and how our BE978 epoxy tooling board delivered the dimensional accuracy and thermal stability required for a demanding aerospace application.
