Here are some of the questions that tecni-form often get asked. Click on each question to see the answer - if you have a query that is not answered here, please contact tecni-form and they will be happy to help.
- What components are suitable to be rotationally moulded?
- How is RM more environmentally friendly than other plastic moulding processes?
- All the raw material is used up in each moulding: there is almost no waste
- The majority of the material used in rotomoulding plastic is polyethylene which by comparison with other polymers is 'clean' to manufacture and to process
- Polyethylene can be readily reprocessed to manufacture either new rotational mouldings or mouldings made by other processes; alternatively it can be cleanly incinerated for heat recovery
- Significant percentages of additives cannot be incorporated into rotational mouldings and therefore the amount of segregation needed for successful reprocessing is minimal, thereby making it more economic and therefore more likely.
- Is rotational moulding cheaper than other forms of plastic moulding?
- How do I specify the designs for RM?
- Is there a minimum / maximum size of RM products you can produce?
- What types of plastic can you use in rotational moulding?
- What makes your company different from others in the rotational molding industry?
- Can RM be used to create SUV overhead and lower consoles?
- What are the advantages for using RM to create storage tanks for different liquids?
- What are the maximum heats that RM plastics can stand?
- What makes rotational moulding preferable to blow moulding?
- Is rotational moulding suitable for the manufacture of marine plastic gas tanks?
- What tools do you use in the rotational moulding process?
- What is the expected lifespan of a rotationally moulded product?
- What is the expected lifespan of a rotational mould tool?
Rotational moulding is more environmentally friendly in several ways:
