PCT produces compression molded parts for a wide variety of military, avaition, industrial and consumer applications.
Compression molded parts offer a strong, yet lightweight alternative to die-cast, stamped or other formed metal parts.
Fiber reinforced, plastic molded components offer the following characteristics that are superior to metal components:
Chemical resistance
Colorfastness
Corrosion resistance
Heat resistance
Weight reduction
Customized compounds
High production volume
Molded-in color
Surface finish - cosmetic or textured
|
Strength
Fire retardance
Microwave transparency
Weatherability
Combined components
Fast cycle rate
Low material cost
Food grade
Weight savings - 4 times lighter than steel
Strength - up to 55,000 psi
