Graphite Die Mold: 3.3 TCR = 101% of Graphite specialties for mechanical use (except gaskets) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Graphite Die Mold safety composite

Graphite Die Mold scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 44%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).
