Compression moulding of thermosetting resins
Strength and precision: thermosetting resin moulding services
The compression moulding of thermosetting resins is a process for creating plastic parts from materials that harden irreversibly when heated. A quantity of material (thermosetting resin) is placed in the open, heated cavity of the mould. When the mould is closed, a high force compresses the material until the desired shape is achieved. The heat and pressure exerted during the process harden the material, giving it good dimensional stability and considerable mechanical and thermal resistance.
rapidplastics is a company specialising in the compression moulding of thermosetting resins and it has a dedicated department equipped with four vertically closing presses from 800 KN to 2000 KN. This technique makes it possible to produce first-class products which are suitable for numerous technical applications.
The advantages of thermosetting resin moulding
Increased solvent resistance
Compression moulding makes it possible to create products that are highly resistant to the aggressive action of chemical solvents.
High thermal and dimensional stability
Moulded components retain their dimensional and performance characteristics, even when subjected to thermal and chemical stress.
Mechanical resistance
With this technology, it is possible to create products that are resistant to impacts and mechanical stress, and that last for a long time.
