Begins this process by measuring the amount of thermosetting plastic resin required to be placed in the mold cavity. Then the mold is heated and compressed so That the will of liquid resin fills the mold cavity and having a chemical hardening process so That its shape in accordance with the mold.
Generally this process is Used for phenolic resins, alkyd resins, aldehyde resins, and urea. Resins are Used to form powder, granular, flakes, rope, and rods.
Duty cycle of this process is Quite long, about 30-20 minutes. Mold temperature must be maintained Throughout the process and the temperature range of 250-400 F depending on the type of material.
Generally, molds are made of tool steel and in polishing so very good surface finishing.
