Genuine Hardox® steel is both hard and tough

Hardness give Hardox® wear plate its extreme wear resistance. Its toughness and high yield strength makes it possible to bend and form. That’s why Hardox® wear plate can take high impact forces without denting. 

When a heavy object hits the plate in for example a container or a truck body, the force is distributed and doesn’t leave any permanent deformation. The absence of reinforcements actually makes the structure stronger since the plate can flex and absorb the blow.
