Benefits of Rotational Molding
There are many advantages associated with rotational molding:
Colours
- Vibrant beautiful colour availability
- Custom colours are available
- Ease of colour changes between production runs
- Uniform colour throughout the wall thickness
- Selection of surface textures and finishes
- Colours are U.V. stabilized
Production Flexibility
- Flexibility of small to large production runs as required, allowing for flexibility of your inventory management
- Standardized packaging, reducing your inventory management and costs
- Ability to alter wall thickness as required by adjusting part charge weight
- Colour changes
- Addition of inserts
Product – Complexity and Design
- Design flexibility to meet specifications
- One piece, seamless shapes can be created. From simple to complex shapes, with strong corners, walls and structures that are virtually stress-free
- Uniform wall thickness with no thinning of extremities
- Flexibility of single wall parts or hollow double wall parts
- Double wall construction capabilities allow a product to be designed with load bearing properties and structural strength, without adding a great deal of weight
- Double wall construction also allows for differences in appearance on the interior and exterior walls; this flexibility allows the double wall cavity to be filled with other materials, eg. insulating materials
- Molded in graphics and logos for identification
- Addition of molded-in inserts
Tooling Costs
- Relatively low tooling costs vs. injection or blow-molding processes
- Quick tooling fabrication
- Long tooling lifespan
- Flexibility of multi-cavity tooling for high production needs
- Selection of tool fabrication materials
