Transfer Moulding

Transfer Moulding

The moulding powder is placed in a compartment above the mould where it is heated. The plunger forces the molten polymer

into a cooled mould cavity. The polymer solidifies in the mould which is then opened and the product is removed.

This process is used to produce Thermosetting products e.g. socket covers, plug tops.
