The ability to employ compression molding as an integral part of its manufacturing capabilities gives RMC an edge over other composite fabrication shops.

It has been proven that compression molding, using precision made tooling, can result in high rates of production. The company can offer customers a vast range of part, sizes, and shapes.

The compression molding process is condusive for the use of high performance materials. Phenolic resin composites offer the best protection against potential smoke/burn situations, while recent improvements in phenolic resin physical properties show promise in equaling epoxy performance.

The RMC - designed molding press has the following features:

. Up to 50-ton molding pressure.
. 4'X 6' heated platens (450 F).
. Innovative tool loading system allows for easy installation of heavy molds.
. Computer controlled from a station which assures optimum control and safety for the operator.
