Compression Molding

 
         
 

Advantages of Compression Molding:

  • Ability to mold intricate parts with short cycle times.
  • Minimal material waste
  • High quality surface finish and texture available
  • Higher temperature resistance
  • Low volume or high volume
  • Standard and custom formulations of Bulk Molding Compound (BMC) and Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) available
  • Complex shapes can be molded including thick and thin sections
  • Excellent thermal and electrical insulation properties
  • Steel to resin conversion with comparable strength
  • capable of molded in inserts
  • Best value for highly stressed parts
Markets:
  • Industrial
  • Defense / Aerospace
  • Transportation
  • Electrical applications - enclosures, insulators
  • Agricultural
  • Home Design

Compression Molds

 
       
   
       
       
  Material is placed in a heated mold cavity, pressure is applied to force material evenly into mold. Heat & pressure are
maintained until material is cured. A high-volume, high pressure method suitable for molding complex, high strength reinforced composite plastic.
