Duroplastic processing

Injection molding machines with closing forces ranging from 350 to 500 KN
Injection moldings ranging from 0.2 to 100 grams in weight
Duroplastic molding compounds are high-quality design materials which have a firm place in many engineering applications.

With its excellent mechanical, chemical and electrical properties, Duroplast achieves impressive results during substitution of metals (e.g. aluminium and zinc die cast components).

In contrast to thermoplastics, duroplasts consist of thermally irreversible cross-linked macromolecules. This results in a great many positive characteristics:

High strength, rigidity and surface hardness
High dimensional stability
Low thermal expansion coefficient, uniformity of length, width and height
Good thermomechanical behaviour
Low creep tendency
High chemical resistance
No stress corrosion
Low swelling
High thermal resistance
Favourable fire behaviour without halogenated flame retardants
Safety reserves at temperature peaks
High electrical and thermal insulating properties
High resistance to media
