Plastics for high performance applications
Thermoset injection moulding is a specialised manufacturing process used to produce plastic parts with exceptional strength, durability, and heat resistance. Unlike thermoplastic materials, thermoset plastics undergo a chemical reaction during the moulding process, resulting in a permanently cross-linked structure. This unique property makes thermoset plastics ideal for applications in the automotive, aerospace, and electrical industries, where high strength and resistance to heat, dielectric strength and chemicals are critical.
