Less commonly encountered, Duroplast manufacturing represents a special aspect of Kunststoff Bauer's plastics processing capabilities. In this particular manufacturing area, products that meet the highest demands in terms of function, design, appearance, and touch are produced on 5 thermoset presses (600 - 1500 KN) and 7 thermoset injection molding machines (350 - 1800 KN). Here, we manage to achieve part weights from 0.03g to 800g.
Due to its history, Bauer has many years of extensive experience in processing Duroplast and, in addition to the requisite machine technology, also has various options for thermoset deburring.
Most thermosets do not shrink, or shrink very little, and exhibit very low warpage. This allows for maintenance of extremely narrow tolerances even with thicker-walled components. Thermoset materials have gained increasing popularity in recent years. They have been optimized significantly and are now used as an economical alternative to aluminum die casting or ceramic components.
