compression moulding -

We are able to produce compression mouldings in a range of sizes from a few grams to over 10 Kilos in weight.  We have an extensive range of moulding presses from 25 tons to 450 tons, including 'Side Ram' and 'Transfer Ram' presses.  Mouldings produced range from small insulators for the electrical industry, to one piece railway carriage seats for modern trains.

Compression moulded products are ideal as cost saving replacements for metal and die cast parts.



Materials along with their properties are selected to suit the application range from the simplest of wood flour filled phenolics, to advanced glass filled flame retardant and low smoke emission, 'Dough' and 'Sheet' moulding compounds.  Our advanced materials selection processes ensure that components are tailored to suit specific applications.

Advanced Plastics Selection for Compression Moulding:
Polyester dough and sheet compounds (DMC & SMC)

Phenolic (Bakelite)

Melamine Urea

Epoxy

Thermoset mouldings give excellent rigidity and electrical resistance coupled with very close dimensional accuracy.  They are particularly suitable where flammability is of concern.
