Some of the advantages of rotational moulding over other plastic moulding processes are:
- Economic tooling costs in either fabricated steel, cast aluminium or
CNC machined aluminium.
- Mouldings are a one piece construction, virtually stress free and can
be totally enclosed or with openings.
- Due to the low stress in the moulding it is stronger and therefore can
be made lighter.
- Wall thickness of the product is even and can be varied via shot weight.
- Rotational mouldings can be produced with a variety of surface finishes and
practically any colour.
- Wide variety of available materials to suit many applications where
strength, rigidity, chemical resistance, UV resistance, temperature
resistance and impact resistance are important.
- The ability to produce multi walled mouldings.
- Design flexibility, from small and intricate to large and complex.
- Structural and load bearing components can be moulded and given
immense strength through foam filling.
- Economical for low, medium and high volume production runs.
- Metal inserts can be moulded in as integral parts.
- Short lead times for tooling and production.
- Excellent resistance to environmental stress cracking and corrosion.
- Most materials can be easily recycled.
- Recycled materials can be used to make new products without
significant reduction in performance.
