				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://www.qualiformrubbermolding.com/Rubber_Transfer_Molding.htm">Transfer molding</a> is ideal process for forming parts that require: </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Exact positioning</li>
<li>Bonding rubber to fragile metal parts &#8211; such as wire</li>
<li>Mold designs that contain multiple cavities and can trap air</li>
<li>Intricate parts with lower volume requirements</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.qualiformrubbermolding.com/Rubber_Transfer_Molding.htm">Transfer molding</a> offers several advantages over other methods by providing:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Shorter production cycles</li>
<li>Maintains closer dimensional tolerances than compression molding</li>
<li>Provides uniformity</li>
<li>Fast mold setup</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>How it works:</strong></p>
<p>The process of transfer molding involves pushing unvulcanized rubber through sprues into a heated mold. The rubber is placed in a chamber at the top of the mold then placed in a press. During the transfer process, rubber is forced through the mold to prevent trapped air while forming the final product.</p>
