The maximum curing time required in a compression molding process is 5 minutes. This is the time during which the mold is closed and maintained at a fixed temperature to allow the stock to flow and fill the cavity. After the curing time, the press is opened and the product is removed.
It is important to note that the molding cycle in compression molding is relatively short compared to other molding methods such as injection molding, which typically takes around 10 seconds. The shorter curing time in compression molding is due to the nature of the process and the need for accurate cutting or weighing of the stock for each cavity.
On the other hand, the minimum curing time required in a compression molding process is 0.5 minutes. This is the minimum time needed for the complete operation of compression molding, including the filling of the cavity and the curing of the stock.
It is worth mentioning that the specific curing time may vary depending on factors such as the type of material being used, the size and complexity of the part being molded, and the desired properties of the finished product. Therefore, it is important to carefully consider these factors and follow the recommended curing time provided by the manufacturer or industry standards.
