Compression Molding and Transfer Molding of Thermoset Materials
Compression Molded Thermosets
Thermoset materials have excellent physical property characteristics when compression molded. Structural parts molded from BMC or SMC can be an excellent alternative to cast or machined aluminum, and result in significant weight savings without sacrificing strength. Phenolics and Polyesters can also deliver exceptional cosmetic qualities. Superior heat resistance, compressive strength, flexural modulus (stiffness) and dimensional stability are all proven attributes of compression molded thermosets.
