Introduction to Compression Molding

Compression molding, also known as compression molding or compression molding, is a simple process: a certain amount of material is placed between preheated matching tools, the mold is quickly pressed together to force the material into the mold cavity, and the material fills the mold under pressure to form the desired shape.

This method allows materials such as rubber and plastics to be made into the desired shape, and is typically used to manufacture larger flat parts or moderately curved parts and insulated insulated corrosion resistant product parts production. However, after careful design, it is also possible to produce products with high curvature such as helmets. It can also be used to produce parts in agglomerated molding compound DMC and sheet molding compound SMC for use in DMC and SMC production processes.

The quality of the product produced by compression molding depends largely on the quality of the material. Thermoset materials have many favorable properties compared to thermoplastics. For example, they can be filled with glass fibers, talc, cotton fibers or wood flour to modify the strength, durability, cracking resistance, dielectric properties and insulation properties of thermosets.
