Eliminating a Major Bottleneck in Polymer Testing

Compression molding is widely used for specimen preparation, but variability introduced during post-processing can compromise mechanical testing and material evaluation. This video shows how an integrated micro compounding and injection molding workflow helps reduce defects, minimize handling, and improve reproducibility by moving directly from melt to molded test specimen.
