Compression mounts are quick and easy to produce, only requiring several minutes to
cure at the appropriate mounting temperature. Most of the time required in
compression mounting occurs during the heating and cooling cycles. When choosing a
compression mounting machine, the most important features include its maximum
heating temperature and how intimately the heater and water cooler are connected to
the mold assembly. The better compression mounting machines have heaters which
can reach temperatures of at least 200°C ( 450°F). For faster turn around time, water
cooling is essential.
The primary compression mounting resins are listed below along with standard colors:
•
Phenolic Resins: black, red, and green (Figure 7
