Compression Molded Thermoplastic Shapes manufactured by Polymics, Ltd. provide engineers and machinists with the quality and performance required for the most demanding applications. Our attention to cleanliness and our proprietary low stress processing methods assure our customers the defect free and dimensionally stable products that they require. Customers in industries like, Semi-Conductor Processing, Oil & Gas Exploration, Industrial and  Medical depend on Polymics’ Compression Molded Stock Shapes.

Most users of our high performance thermoplastic material have found that Compression Molded Shapes are the most economical option because this process offers the widest range of near net sizes and materials with the lowest minimum order quantities.  For users of our line of polymer stock shapes, this means they can buy exactly the material they need in the size they need without paying additional charges for additional tooling and machining or run set-ups.

Benefits

• Lowest cost to create molds
• Small amount of “throw away” or wasted material (ideal for expensive compounds)
• Lower labor costs
• Final internal stress and warping are minimized
• Excellent dimensional stability and high accuracy during manufacturing
