Thermosetting compression moulding is a plastic processing technique that utilizes thermosetting plastics to create high-quality, durable products. This process involves the application of heat and pressure to a plastic material, resulting in its transformation into a solid, shape-retaining form. In this article, we will delve deeper into the thermosetting compression moulding process, its key steps, and its various applications.

    The fundamental aspect of thermosetting compression moulding lies in the unique properties of thermosetting plastics. These plastics, unlike thermoplastics, undergo irreversible chemical changes during the heating process, resulting in the formation of a cross-linked structure. This cross-linking renders them highly resistant to heat, chemicals, and mechanical stress, making them ideal for applications that require superior durability and performance.
