Moldtronics
is a custom thermoplastic
and thermoset plastic molding company.Unlike other molders we mold both thermoplastics and thermoset
materials.This capability allows Moldtronics to offer the widest selection of
materials to meet a given application.This ability to work with a wide variety of materials combined with
our totally internal mold building capability and 46 years of molding
experience provide the tools required to take on any precision molding job.
Cost and lead-time are important. With our internal tool shop we can
quote a project and get started while other molders are still in the
quoting stage. Email your
IGS files (3D geometry) or DWG (2D drawings) to us for a quote.
A
thermoplastic polymer is one which melts or flows when
heated. Thermoplastic polymers are usually not highly crosslinked,
and act much like molecular solids: low melting and boiling points,
high ductile strength.
Insert
molding is the process of molding plastic around preformed
metal inserts. Moldtronics is a pioneer in the field, having
produced some of the first parts using this process back in 1957.
This process is compatible with both thermoplastic and thermoset
materials.
A
thermosetpolymer is one that doesn't melt when
heated. Thermoset polymers "set" into a given shape when
first made and afterwards do not flow or melt, but rather decompose
upon heating. They are often highly crosslinked polymers, with
properties similar to those of network covalent solids- i.e., hard
and strong.
