THERMOPRESS AND THEMOCOMPRESSION MOULDED PRODUCTS

Thermopress and thermocompression moulded parts are produced by moulding of flexible foams after heating up to plastic deformation stage.

Different methods of moulding (hot or cold ) are used depending on the material, form and structure of the foams used.

Thermopress and thermocompression moulded parts are produced by moulds having male and female impressions, which makes it possible to get more precise shapes compared to thermo-vacuum process, which uses generally single side, male moulds.

Thermopress process, which is very common in shoe industry, is used by Mebant for mainly Automotive, White goods and sports industries. Typical parts manufactured with this process are exterior mirror gaskets, door lock mechanism sealers, pipe and valve protectors, body protectors and impact absorbers for infant seats.
