Development of the World Mold was based on:

The WORLD MOLD is particularly well-suited for companies whose markets cross the ever-fading lines of international trade. The polymer industry has entered the global market. Your product must meet ASTM, ISO, CAMPUS® and possibly other specs not to mention your customers' requirements. It is a comfort to know that while all of the various testing standards are being juggled, there is a mold system that makes producing test specimens very easy and uncomplicated. The WORLD MOLD from Bound, the industry leader in test specimen molds, is here to simplify your current and future material testing.

We have developed the ultimate test specimen mold system. It comprises all of our original goals and more. All molds are made with high-quality 420 stainless steel at 48-52 RC. The mirror plate and cavities are finished to an SPI A3 diamond polish and the ejector system is fully enclosed within each cavity plate. All mirror and cavity plates come with a soft-touch handle with finger grips for safety and comfort. A "T" handle offers quick release and lock of mold plates. The base is made of 4130 prehardened steel. All systems come 100% tested and ready to start production. Your mold system is customized for your molding machine with platen mounting holes, locating ring, knock-out holes, and sprue per your specification.

Bound has a full line of standard molds ready to set up for your machine. The beauty of the WORLD MOLD is that it is also ready for any custom configuration. We have been building custom systems from our very beginning. Let us design and build the perfect mold system for your needs. We are not satisfied until you are.
