THERMOSETS

Thermoset Plastic molding compounds were developed primarily to satisfy the following molded part criteria:

	High heat resistance while maintaining physical strength properties
	Chemical resistance
	Electrical insulation (arc & track resistance)
	Dimensional stability

  

Thermoset materials differ from thermoplastic molding compounds due to a change in chemistry during the cure portion of the molding process.  In short, the material "sets" up and "kicks" over into a different chemistry that provides the desired molded part characteristics as stated above.

Akron Porcelain & Plastics has the equipment, design expertise for both parts and tools, and plant capacity to handle any of your thermoset molded plastic needs!
