Molding

PSC aims to provide its customers with quality parts that can meet every specification. Molding gives us the opportunity to create extremely detailed custom pieces that can be utilized in many different markets. PSC can use a variety of materials in our molded applications, including XLPE, EVA, Nonwoven PET, and Polyurethane.

Types of Molding

PSC is capable of three types of molding: Fusion Molding, Thermoforming, and Reaction Injection Molding, or RIM.

Fusion Molding is the process of heating die cut foam components in a mold to produce detailed, three-dimensional parts. This process is excellent for creating small, complex parts.

There are two types of thermoforming: Vacuum Forming and Compression Molding. In Vacuum Forming, sheets of material are heated and pulled into the shape of their mold with a vacuum pressure. This allows the final product to be hollow and is commonly used for vents and ducts. In Compression Molding, material is sandwiched between two molds and is formed by the pressure of the molds coming together.

Reaction Injection Molding (RIM) is the process of injecting polyol and isocyanate into a mold. The chemical reaction between the polyol and isocyanate creates polyurethane, a durable and temperature resistant material that works well for insulation. RIM is great for creating larger parts while maintaining a high level of detail.
