Heat Transfer

Heat Transfer molding is an extremely accurate and efficient thermoset plastic injection molding process. During the transfer molding process, a metered amount of plastic is loaded into a pot where it is held until the polymer has been melted to the specified temperature. After the material and the molds are heated, a plunger forces the material from the pot and into the mold cavities. Since the mold is also heated above the melting point of the plastic, the plastic flow of the material is unimpeded by skin effects and the molding process can be performed quickly.
