What is Compression Molding?

Compression molding is a manufacturing process that involves placing a pre-measured amount of raw material, such as plastic or rubber, into a heated mold cavity. The mold is then closed, and pressure is applied to compress the material, causing it to flow and conform to the shape of the mold. After curing, the mold is opened, and the finished part is removed. Compression molding offers advantages such as high production efficiency, consistent part quality, and the ability to produce complex shapes. With our expertise in compression molding, X-Mold delivers reliable and precise molded parts for various industries.

Compression Molding Process

Compression molding is a highly efficient manufacturing process used to produce high-quality rubber and composite parts. This process involves the precise application of heat and pressure to shape and cure the raw material. At X-Mold, we specialize in compression molding, delivering exceptional results for a wide range of industries. The compression molding process can be divided in four simple steps:
01

Material Preparation

The raw material, typically in the form of granules or preforms, is carefully selected and prepared. It is then placed into a heated mold cavity.
02

Mold Closure and Preheating

The mold is closed, and pressure is applied to ensure proper material distribution. The mold is preheated to activate the curing process.
03

Heat and Pressure Application

High heat and pressure are applied to the mold, causing the material to flow and conform to the mold cavity. This step allows for precise shaping and curing of the part.
04

Cooling and Part Removal

The molded part is allowed to cool and solidify within the mold. Once cooled, the mold is opened, and the finished part is removed. Trimming or additional post- processing may be performed to achieve the desired final product.

Glossy

A grade finishes are made using a diamond buffing process and yield shiny and glossy surfaces on injection molded parts.
Check

Semi-glossy

B grade finishes use grit sandpaper to produce parts with a slightly rougher finish than grade A parts. Custom molded plastic parts that undergo B grade finishing have a matte surface textture

Matte

C grade finishes use grit sanding stones to produce a rough, uneven surface. Injection plastic parts that undergo C grade finishing have a matte surface texture.
