Compression molding is one of many techniques related to the cast molding process. The only difference between the two is that compression molding requires compressive forces, usually in the form of… read more

The compressibility of elastomeric materials often makes them an ideal choice for many applications that require sealing or significant pressure. However, not all materials will behave the same. Many… read more

Some leak tests require high temperatures depending on the product being tested. This can be particularly challenging as many synthetic materials, like thermoplastics and rubbers, are highly… read more

Polyurethanes have become increasingly popular over traditional materials like metals and rubbers, especially for the fitness and recreational industry. Due to their unique chemistry, polyurethanes… read more

Helium is a commonly used leak test gas because its small, lightweight molecules can easily detect the tiniest leaks. In addition, helium is inert and more environmentally friendly than some… read more
