This is the first-and-only compression molded, traffic-rated cover that is Made-In-The-USA. This is the first compression molded, traffic-rated cover that is Made-In-The-USA. Compression molding improves the cost structure with high-volume, rapid production cycles versus the slower, low pressure and temperature Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) and other fiberglass casting processes. In addition, compr
ession molding covers improves quality compared to other composite processes by reducing entrapped gas, eliminating many post process operations, and conveying higher strengths from internal mold cavity pressures during part cure. And finally, CAP’s compression molded composite covers prevent corrosion from hydrogen sulfide sewer gasses, are lighter for ergonomically safe installation and maintenance, insulate hot temperatures to avoid burning pedestrians and pets, and remove the root cause of cover theft – for iron recycled content. Stolen manhole covers cost municipalities and contractors millions each year, and impose a liability for hazardous fall situations. Are you tired of replacing stolen or corroded covers, but do not want to pay an arm-and-a-leg for the better composite technology…Just CAP that!
