Tempo Plastic Company

Tempo developed a thin wall molding technique known as “DRY molding” beginning in August, 1960 with its first product, foam cups. Patents for this technique were granted in 1965. Tempo adapted DRY molding to numerous other products where good material fusion is achieved to accomplish a “No-Leak” quality standard. Tempo is one of the few remaining cup molders in the world to adapt cup molding techniques to serve modern high technology engineered applications.

Dry molded expandable foams such as “expanded polystyrene” (EPS) and “expanded copolymers” (such as “Dytherm” polyphenylene ether-polystyrene and “GECET” polyphenylene oxide-polystyrene) are produced by a unique, patented, heat-conducted process. The process uses machinery and molds made in our shop that are specifically designed for reliable, long-term production of high quality, molded parts.

The process features accurate mold alignment for single or multiple cavity molds, calibrated raw material filling (your molded part density is quoted in a range of densities from 2.0 lb/ft3 up to 37lb/ft3), and precise temperature control during automatic and semi-automatic machine molding cycle.
