compression-molding

Masters at Compression Molding (plus Machining, Assembly and Bonding)

We use a wide range of specialty plastics and create custom forms with unique qualities that exceed standard specifications or cannot be created using conventional methods. Many of these polymers are proprietary and can be found only at Thermech.

Meeting your polymer fabrication needs is our business.

Every manufacturer encounters difficult projects such as:

•creating sophisticated, flexible parts that can withstand extremely high pressures and temperatures

•bonding plastics to metals while retaining dimensional integrity

When these challenges arise, there are few resources for designers and buyers to turn to for expertise, great service and collaboration.

Fortunately there is Thermech. Since 1949, we have built our reputation as the source for custom materials and technology solutions for difficult polymer problems.

We pioneered several new versions of ultra-high-performance fluoropolymers based on materials such as PTFE, and we continue to define the state of the art in custom polymers. Relative to standard PTFE materials, our products:

•have higher tensile strength

•are harder

•are tougher

•have a lower coefficient of friction

•have enhanced dielectric properties

We also offer a line of hybrid materials that provide additional qualities not found in standard fluoropolymers. See our complete line of materials for compression molding.

Our processing techniques yield maximum performance with minimum waste, which translates into optimal value for our customers.

Our compression molding can produce:

•Rods up to 8” in diameter and 6” long, or up to 12” long for smaller diameters

•Tubes up to 6” long with an outside diameter up to 35” with a wall thickness of up to 3”

•Tubes with an inside diameter as small as 1/2”

•Sheets up to 12 ½” by 12 ½” and 3” thick

High-tolerance Machining of Polymer and Metal Components

We use cutting-edge techniques for maximum performance and quality in metal and nonmetallics. We are especially adept at machining nonmetallics such as polymers and resins that typically present significant challenges in preparation, tooling and cutting.

Assembly and Bonding

We routinely join many of the most difficult-to-bond materials. We have developed innovative ways of integrating polymer components into larger systems of dissimilar materials. This allows our customers to speed their production processes and consolidate their activities.
