Available Methods and Accessories
Specially configured to perform compression molding of test plaque, bar specimens, polyethylene and other thermoplastic resins
Sample Requirements
200 mg to 1kg of solid resins/polymers/thermoplastics
Summary of Technique
- Manually operated hydraulic laminating presses with stacked heating and cooling platens in bench top model.
- Thermostatic control, aluminum platens, heating one opening while simultaneously cooling the other results in faster production of laminated samples, plastic plaques and other R&D items
- This hydraulic heat press is available for compression molding resins into sheets at temperatures of up to 300 °C (570 °F) at a maximum force of 30 tons. Two chambers (four platens) are available to accommodate molds as large as 30 × 30 cm2 (12 × 12 in.)
