Compression molding

Japanese: 圧縮成形 - あっしゅくせいけい(英語表記)compression molding
Compression molding

This is the most common molding method for plastics, in which the molding material is placed in the cavity of a mold and molded by applying pressure and heat. It is mainly used for thermosetting resins. Compression molding is done with an automatic or manual press. The heating temperature is 140-180°C, and the hydraulic pressure is about 100-200 kilograms per square centimeter. In the case of thermosetting phenolic resin or melamine resin, water is generated during heat curing, which causes swelling on the surface of the molded product, so the mold is opened for a short time at the beginning of molding to reduce the pressure and release the gas. Powdered materials may be used, but in reality, the powder is preformed into tablets and the mold is preheated and cooled to increase molding efficiency. Transfer molding is a more automated version of compression molding.

Japanese:

プラスチック類のもっとも一般的な成形法で、成形材料を金型の凹所(キャビティ)に入れ、圧力と熱を加えて成形する方法。主として熱硬化性樹脂に適用されている。圧縮成形は、自動または手動のプレスで行う。加熱する温度は140~180℃、油圧は1平方センチメートル当り100~200キログラムぐらいである。熱硬化性のフェノール樹脂やメラミン樹脂などの場合、加熱硬化の際に水などを発生して成形品の表面に膨れを生ずる原因となるので、成形の初期に金型を短時間開いて、圧力を下げてガス抜きをする。粉末材料を用いることもあるが、実際は成形能率をあげるために、粉末を錠剤に予備成形したり、金型の予熱や冷却装置を取り付けている。なお、圧縮成形をさらに自動化したものにトランスファー成形がある。
