Compression Moldings

Compression Molding is one of three procedures employed to cast and shape rubber parts. Rubber Compression molding is the oldest and easiest technique to produce rubber products. In a number of applications, compression molding is still considered as the finest technique. In a more general and common manner, compression molding requires squishing a mass of uncured rubber into a pocket in the mold. After some time, high temperature and pressure turns the rubber in the form of the pocket. The mold can then be opened and the part removed.

There are many advantages of Compression Molding that may include lowest cost molds besides the a small amount of "throw away" material offers benefit on expensive compounds in addition it is often better for large parts. However, there are some drawbacks of Compression Molding that involves least product uniformity, difficulty in controlling flash and it is also not recommended for some types of parts. In compression molding there are 4 vital factors that have to be in an engineer mind that are:

1. Determination of least time necessary to heat the compound in addition to the suitable heating methods
2. Choice of appropriate amount of the materials
3. The calculation of force to ensure that every volume of the melt has the required form
4. Temperature of the molds should decrease swiftly throughout the cooling procedure.

Injection Compression Molding is the most sophisticated technique of molding rubber products. Injection molding gives the most reliable results by mechanizing all features of how the rubber gets into the mold. In injection compression molding, the rubber is heated and then squeezed into the mold at well-monitored speed, pressure and temperature. This kind of compression molding has many advantages as well that include consistency of product, compression molding. Injection compression molding takes shorter time than compression molding. It is also considered to be reliable and efficient for rubber-to-metal bonding. In addition it provides the maximum product consistency. On the other hand, there are some disadvantages of injection molding most importantly it is not suited for all compounds and it produces most expensive molds.

Blow Molding is one of the types for plastic compression molding it is used for a limited choice of materials that may include oil drums, hollow components, bottles, children's furniture etc. there are three types of blow molding that are injection blow molding, stretch blow molding, blow molding that are used according to the requirements of the desired product. In blow molding all the parts are shaped by blowing up a "bubble" of plastic in a hollow mould, which produces the complete shape to the product.
