What Benefits are there to Rotational Molding?
Colors
- vibrant beautiful color availability
- custom colors are available
- ease of color changes between production runs
- uniformity of color consistency throughout the wall thickness
- selection of surface textures and finishes
Inventory Management
- flexibility of low production numbers to high production numbers as required, therefore, allowing for flexibility of your inventory management (in comparison to other molding processes)
Product Size/Complexity/Design
- molded in graphics and logos for identification
- seamless shapes can be created from the simplest to the most complex
- complex shapes can be are created with strong corners, walls and structure that are virtually stress-free double wall construction capabilities allow a product to be designed with load bearing properties and structural strength without adding a great deal of weight
- a double wall constructed part allows for differences in appearance on the interior and exterior walls
- double wall construction allows for the double wall cavity to be filled with other materials, eg. insulating materials
Production
- uniform wall thickness with no thinning of extremities
- this unique process allows items to be created with ease compared to other processes
- flexibility of hollow double wall parts or single walled parts
- double wall construction of a rotationally molded part creates a lightweight product with great structural integrity
- foamed wall
- complex parts
- mold in logos
Tooling Costs
- relatively low tooling costs vs. injection or blow-molding processes
- long tooling lifespan
- quick tooling fabrication
- flexibility of multi-cavity tooling for high production needs
- selection of tool fabrication materials
