Compression Molded Shapes
Hot Compression Molded shapes manufactured by Polymics,® Ltd. provide engineers and machinists with the quality and performance required for the most demanding applications. Polymics,® Ltd. is currently Compression Molding Plates, Rods, Tubes, Discs, and Near Net Shapes.
Compression Molding is among the most economical of options because it offers a wide range of near net sizes and produces materials with low minimum order quantities. As a result, users can buy exactly the amount of material needed without having to pay additional charges for tooling or small run set-ups.
Benefits of Compression Molding
- Lowest cost to create molds
- Small amount of “throw away” or wasted material (ideal for expensive compounds)
- Reduced labor costs
- Minimization of final internal stress and warping
- Excellent dimensional stability and manufacturing accuracy
