Coi Rubber has the unique ability to utilize transfer molding process as well to manufacture a wede range of precision rubber components. The benefits of transfer molding is broad in scope and efficiently. Transfer molds consume additional rubber when filling the cavity in the “pot” and “sprues”. However, because the cavity plates start out closed, less rubber escapes the cavity, thereby limiting excess flash. This also makes it well suited for molding delicately shaped parts or securing inserts that are embedded in a product. Since you work with a single “slug” of uncured rubber and not several individual precut or shaped “slugs” of rubber for each cavity, the transfer mold is ideal for colored and translucent compounds. Transfer molds have a shorter cycle and cure time than compression molds. This is due to a rapid transfer of heat to the rubber, while being forced from the “pot”, through the “sprue” and into the cavity. It is also faster to load just one “slug” of rubber when running a multi-cavity mold. Due to the more complex design of the transfer mold, it is more expensive to purchase than a compression mold, but it may be better suited for your product design.
