Molding Compounds Testing Instruments

Molding compounds and resins are industrial plastics and polymers that are suitable for forming. They are used in injection molding, compression molding, reaction injection molding (RIM), resin transfer molding (RTM), and blow molding. Types include thermoset resins, gel elastomers, encapsulants, potting compounds, composites, and optical grade materials. Typically, products are supplied as pellets, liquids, and powders. Molding compounds show properties based on their composition such as coefficient of thermal expansion, tensile strength, and dielectric strength. Different types of plastic molding compounds are used to encapsulate semiconductor devices. General-purpose products are suitable if they provide high flexural strength and exert relatively large stresses on the encapsulated device, which typically uses a thicker package type. 

Manufacturers of molding compounds must evaluate the quality as per the required standard. Molding Compounds Testing Instruments are used to measure the quality of plastic molding compounds to avoid failure at the time of utilization.
