Advantages of RIM Molding

RIM molding allows for many distinct advantages, some of which include:

• Large Parts - The properties of the liquid polyurethane components enable them to fill molds for very large parts.
• Encapsulation of Inserts - Inserts of many types can be placed into a mold prior to injection of the RIM material. The RIM material can also encapsulate many inserts during molding.
• Thick and Thin Walls - The RIM process offers you the flexibility to design parts with significant wall thickness variations.
• Class-A Surfaces - The surface finish of parts molded with the RIM process allows manufacturers to produce Class A painted parts.
• Low Cost Tooling Options - The low injection pressures of the RIM process allow for tooling to be manufactured quicker, and at lower cost, than tools used in traditional injection molding, or structural foam.
