Thermosetting Compression Moulding is a crucial manufacturing process that revolutionizes the plastic industry. This technique, specifically tailored for thermosetting plastics, involves the use of heat and pressure to shape and solidify plastic materials into desired forms. This article delves into the intricacies of the Thermosetting Compression Moulding process, highlighting its key features, advantages, limitations, and various applications.

    The process begins with the preparation of the plastic material, often in powder, granular, or fibrous form. These raw materials are then placed into a preheated mold, designed to impart the desired shape to the final product. Once the mold is filled, it is closed, and high pressure is applied to force the plastic material to flow and fill the mold cavity. Simultaneously, heat is applied to initiate the crosslinking reaction within the plastic, converting it from a malleable state to a rigid and durable form.
