Thermoset Capabilities
Our thermoset equipment is ideal for producing high-heat, high-voltage plastic containers and enclosures that are resistant to softening, fatigue and melting.
Thermoplastic Capabilities
Our thermoplastics offer a wide range of physical properties to increase part strength, longevity and resistance to heat and chemicals.
Thermoplastics Molding
Today’s thermoplastics offer excellent electrical protection, improved thin-wall dimensional properties versus thermosets, and virtually zero emissions when melted. Thermoplastics’ excellent impact resistance, especially when dealing with thin-wall geometries, make them ideal when weight reduction is a critical consideration.
In the event that a thermoplastic is damaged or reaches the end of its lifecycle, they can be grinded back into raw materials without compromising physical properties. We test all thermoplastics using a combination of insulation testing, electrical breakdown testing, electrical current resistance and dimensional distortion testing to ensure performance and reliability.

Thermoplastic Properties
Unlike thermoset plastics, which undergo an irreversible chemical bond, thermoplastics can be remolded or reshaped without compromising impact resistance or toughness. Additional thermoplastic benefits include:
- Rapid manufacturing cycle times
- High product yields
- Highly recyclable
- Excellent finishing capabilities
- Reduced secondary operations
- High-impact resistance
- Remolding/reshaping capabilities
- Accurate color matching
- Eco-friendly manufacturing and virtually zero VOCs
Thermoplastic Examples
Thermoplastics are commonly used as encapsulation materials for high-voltage electrical applications, including the insulation of coils and related components. Thermoplastics’ high recyclability also makes them the material of choice for everyday items such as shampoo bottles, packaging, compact discs, and plastic bottles.

Thermoset Molding
Thermoset plastics, also known as thermosets, are plastics that undergo an irreversible curing and bonding process to mitigate the risk of deformation. Unlike thermoplastics that can soften when heated, cured thermoset plastics cannot be reshaped, making them ideal for high-temp electrical applications.
Modor thermosets consist of the highest quality polymers backed by an industry-leading strength-to-price ratio. We test all thermosets using a combination of insulating properties testing, electrical breakdown, electrical current resistance and dimensional distortion testing to ensure performance and reliability.
As with all Modor Plastics Products, we can provide turnkey concepting to finishing with guaranteed turnaround times. Visit our Plastics Learning Center for additional thermoset information.
What are Thermoset Plastics?
Thermoset plastics are comprised of several polymer chains that are chemically bonded together to form cross-linked molecular meshes. This “thermally set” cross-linking structure is extremely durable and provides vastly improved dimensional stability over traditional thermoplastics. As a result, thermosets will never soften, fatigue, or melt. Additional benefits include:
- More resistant to high temperatures than thermoplastics
- Highly flexible design
- Thick-to-thin-wall capabilities
- Excellent aesthetics
- High levels of dimensional stability
- Highly cost-effective
Thermoset Plastic Examples
We perfected our thermosets in the electrical industry, where products are often subjected to harsh temperatures and high electrical currents. Typical thermoset applications include printed circuit boards, electronic chips, electrical relay sockets, and molded plastic enclosures. Thermoset plastics can also be used for a wide range of non-electrical applications.

Compression Molding
Compression molding is often the more economical manufacturing process when working with low volume thermoset resins. The compression molding process provides additional geometry flexibility over standard injection molding and is typically used to produce large, fairly complex parts that are unsuitable for injection molding presses.
Compression molding is only compatible with a select number of thermoset resins. For resins that are compatible, compression molding eliminates molded stresses, produces less wasted material, improves molding cycle speed and significantly reduces tonnage requirements. Modor design engineers can help you decide if compression molding is right for you.
The Compression Molding Process
Thermoset powder is heated to a malleable state, them compressed to a liquid to produce a final shape. This relatively low pressure compression method evenly distributes the resin for uniform strength without damaging the mold, regardless of design complexity.
Compression Molding Examples
Compression molding is used for everything from heavy-duty enclosures to light-weight precision parts. Everyday examples of compression molding include optical media, thin-walled electrical parts and cable insulation.
Value-Added Services
Our goal is to offer the greatest value to our customers, which is why we’ve incorporated every step of the plastic injection molding process under one roof. From design and prototyping to finishing and assembly, Modor Plastics can find opportunities to manufacture your product more efficiently.
Screen and Pad Printing
We can create screens from customer supplied artwork or recreate customer design in-house. We expose screens at our facility and can screen any color, including multiple colors. Corporate logos, directions, instructions for use or any other label can all be screened directly to any plastic product.
Our labels and printed products are built to last. We use specialty molding materials that are not oil or silicon based, making it much easier for ink to adhere to our plastics. Some Modor labels have lasted for decades under the most demanding operating conditions.
Our static reduction devices also aid in the screening process. We offer both manual and automated screening and pad printing to produce almost any type of screen or pad printing our customers may request.
Machining & Assembly
We offer custom CNC hole drilling, known as “perfing,” which allows us to produce square and round holes with accuracy down to fractions of an inch. Adding these holes or perfs allows the customer to place switches, lights or other devices. All parts can be assembled and shipped directly from our facility.
