Compressi<strong>on</strong> moulding is a<br />

closed mould process and you<br />

apply high pressure <strong>on</strong> the job.<br />

It is best used when you have<br />

volumes for larger parts<br />

where tightest tolerances and<br />

flawless finishes are not<br />

required.<br />

Examples may include<br />

diaphragms, valves and<br />

gaskets, Dampers, O-rings,<br />

seals, rubber wear parts, etc<br />

depending up<strong>on</strong> their areas of<br />

applicati<strong>on</strong>.<br />
