Thermoset Molding has been a part of plastics parts production since 1957. AKRON Porcelain & Plastics Company’s engineers have designed hundreds of multi-cavity production tools that currently produce complex parts on a mass-production basis.

Thermoset molding materials from AKRON Porcelain & Plastics Company differ from Thermoplastic molding compounds. Due to a change in chemistry that occurs during the cure portion of the molding process. The material “sets” up and “kicks” over into a different chemistry that provides the desired molded part characteristics.

Here is an overview, AKRON has the equipment, design expertise for both parts and tools, and plant capacity to handle any of your Thermoset molded plastic needs. Thermoset molding continues to be very cost-effective on a cost-per-cubic-inch comparison to other plastic raw material selections.
