 Our polyurethane compounds cover a wide range of hardness. Our materials are available from a soft 30 A through 100 A, which correlates to a Youngs Modulus range of approximately 200 psi up to 1,000 psi.
What is RIM?
Reaction injection molding is a simple, yet robust process based on a chemical reaction (usually polyol and isocyanate) inside a mold. Depending on the chemical formulation, the end product can take on a wide range of physical characteristics: foam or solid, highly rigid or very flexible.
Applications of RIM?
Originally used for high-density rigid foam parts such as bumpers and fascias for the automotive industry, the modern application is cost effective and efficient for industries such as:
-
Construction
-
Appliances
-
Sports and Recreation
-
Electronics
-
Medical
-
Furniture
-
And many more!
Advantages of RIM?
A multitude of part sizes including large, lightweight parts. RIM also provides freedom of design by accommodating intricate designs, shapes and multiple wall thicknesses designed into the same molded part. Finally, molds from a variety of materials can be used due to lower pressure and heat requirements. As a result, tooling costs are dramatically reduced.
