Why Choose Low Pressure Molding?
Low pressure molding is an improved method of conventional injection molding. It uses lower pressure to gently encapsulate delicate electronics assemblies and protect them from harsh environments such as moisture, high temperatures, dust, and chemical exposure.
Low pressure molding is conducted in a press that applies gentle pressure and a carefully chosen molding material to electronics assemblies. This mold flows through a predesigned mold set, and encapsulated parts can typically be moved to final assembly immediately after molding.
