What Benefits are there to Rotational Molding?
Colours
- vibrant beautiful colour availability
- custom colours are available
- ease of colour changes between production runs
- uniformity of colour 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-freedouble 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
