Compression Molding Services Compression molding involves a two plate mold where the rubber performs are placed into each cavity. The parts are made as the rubber is compressed between the two plates under heat and pressure. The advantages of compression mold include: lower tooling costs; ability to mold large parts; ability to mold high durometer parts; lower overall rubber use as there is no transfer pad or injection sprues; quick mold changeover time. The negatives of compression molding include: longer cure times; additional flash during the molding process; limited to basic shapes or parts with larger tolerances. * Low volume parts * Price sensitive parts (less material waste than other processes) * Large parts * Basic designs |
