I understand the basic idea behind Cold Transfer Injection Molding (CTIM). I found this "Fabric" that is placed at a point where the two opposing cones meet and holds onto the two sprues, the cured one and the semi-cured one, and then is disposed of.
My question lies in the set-up of this process. It calls for a upper-platen that is insulated from the bottom half, so that the rubber does not cure in the transfer cylinder. Does anyone use this process? If so what kind of insulation board should be used? We tried it once with a fiberglass reinforced board, but it broke and didn't seem to be conducive to the injection process.
Any info or insights would be a huge help.
Thanks,
Jamie
