Rhodes Interform is the UK and Ireland distributor of Tuff Brake film, an innovative material which, when placed over a metal sheet, eliminates markings on sensitive metal materials and press brake die witness marks.  These can be caused by the lower die when used for bending stainless steel, aluminium, sheet metal and pre-painted metals. 

Known for its longevity, the many benefits of Tuff Brake include: 

  • Marking is virtually eliminated
  • Second operations are avoided
  • Better ultimate paint finish
    • Dies are protected
    • Production costs reduced
    • Increased profitability

    It is also reusable – Tuff Brake can be used time and time again …


    High Performance Products for the Metal Forming Industry 

    Tuff Brake Film can be used many times before there is a need to form fresh material, therefore maximising cost effectiveness.  

    Tuff Brake has become the ideal solution for many customers, helping them reduce production costs while increasing productivity. 

    Steve Jackson, Technical Sales Manager for Rhodes Interform, explains: “Metal manufacturing companies are recognising how Tuff Brake Film can help them to reduce production costs, whilst increasing productivity.  It protects the work piece and dies, and means that labour is saved, therefore second operations are avoided. Ultimately, the end result is a better paint finish".
