Cleaner cut, smoother edges
Watch the movie
High quality industrial razor blades result in cleaner cuts of flexible web material. And cleaner cuts decrease the presence of dust particles between film layers, resulting in a high quality product.
Poor slitting can leave corrugations in a cut edge. As the web is wound, these corrugations result in raised, high reel edges. When unwinding films, high reel edges cause difficulties and often render the film or foil unusable.
Using the appropriate razor blades for slitting results in layers of film that flush against each other and results in enabling higher productivity.
Fortis
Ceramic coated razor blades
FORTIS razor blades are stainless steel blades with a special treatment for industrial use. The cutting edges are additionally protected with an extremely hard coating, increasing the wear resistance and decreasing the friction with the film.

Fortis+
Advanced ceramic coated razor blades
FORTIS+ razor blades are the 'heavy duty' versions of the FORTIS blades. The cutting edges have the highest possible surface hardness and excel in slitting very though web materials.

Fortius
Solid ceramic razor blades
FORTIUS razor blades are made of solid ceramic material. Their natural supremacy in hardness over steel and low friction result in the longest tool lifetime.

Impact of industrial razor blade choice on slit quality
We initiated a study on film slitting to confirm the impact of blade choice on slit quality. It was found that the performance of the various types of blades seemed to decline over time as the appearance of dust particles and the “postage stamp” effect increased during the hourly inspections.

Breakage of zirconia ceramic razorblade during the slitting process is to be avoided at all cost. The solution may lie in the choice for blades with more resilience like Fortis or Fortis + .
