Compression Molding

Compression Molding Is An Ideal Manufacturing Process For Producing a wide variety of rubber parts from small o rings to large rubber floor mats. This Method Involves Placing A Pre-measured Amount Of Material, Typically In The Form Of A Rubber Compound Into A Heated Mold Cavity. The Mold Is Then Closed, And Pressure Is Applied To Shape The Material Into The Desired Form. The Heat Causes The Material To Cure Or Harden, Solidifying The Part Into Its Final Shape.

Transfer Molding

Transfer molding is a versatile manufacturing process that combines elements of both injection molding and compression molding to produce high-quality, detailed, and high-strength components. This method is particularly valued for its ability to create parts with excellent surface finishes and precise geometries, making it well-suited for industries where precision and durability are critical, such as in the production of electrical components, seals, and specialized industrial parts.

Materials

Rubber Mexico Has 3 Chemists, A Full Service Rubber Lab That Supports Our Molding Department, But That Also Allows Us To Compound Nearly All Of The Rubber That We Use Internally. We Have Large Silicone Kneaders Allowing Us To Compound Silicone From The Polymer, Unlike Nearly Every Other Silicone Parts Manufacturer That Purchases Just Adds Colorant And Curatives On A Two Roll Mill. We Are One Of The Largest Manufacturers Of Silicone And Fluorosilicone Products In North America With Hundreds Of Existing Compounds That We Have Developed Over Decades. Very Few Companies Have More Experience Or Scale With Silicone Rubber Than Us, We Cannot Be Beat With Silicone Molded Products.
