Open Casting describes a simple process where air-free metered and mixed epoxy or urethane formulations are poured into open-top molds. Batch degassing tanks and continuous thin-film degassers supply heated, degassed air-free materials for automatic metering, mixing and dispensing applications that require no visible air bubbles in the finished open cast parts. Open casting can be combined with spin casting or compression molding.
