Our modern state-of-the-art ISO 9002 certified facilities operate molding presses from 70 to 1100 tons, with shot capacity ranging from 3 to 180 ounces. Through the use of robotic part handling equipment, bulk storage silos, and overhead crane systems, we can deliver a consistent part, which exceeds your expectations for cost and quality. Our commitment continues beyond molding. We offer a total project management program which includes: Tooling, Hot Stamping, Painting, Assembly, and managed inventory and distribution. Combining our molding experience with our secondary operations and finishing capabilities, we offer shorter lead times and superior quality control.

This guide was designed as a starting point in your product selection. We encourage you to contact our sales or engineering associates for all your standard and custom applications.

Structural Foam Molding

Cortina has long recognized the product strengths and savings offered by high-pressure structural foam molding. Our early start in technology makes us the ideal single source for your foam-molding products.

Why Structural Foam Molding?

In the molding process, foam concentrates are added to thermoplastics - from the simplest to the most advanced engineering materials depending on your needs. The resulting product has a tough, dense exterior skin and a lighter core. This gives youa lighter overall piece but with superb flexural load bearing qualities. High-pressure foam molding eliminates sink marks and gives you a 90% better surface finish and in most cases the surface is ready to paint or finish with little or no sanding.

You save on weight and finishing cost while increasing strength and improving the overall appearance.
