    Practical Guide to Rotational Moulding
    No of pages: 184
    Rotational moulding is a low pressure, high temperature manufacturing method for producing hollow one-piece plastic parts. The moulding process dates back hundreds of years to the Swiss use of the method to make hollow chocolate eggs. The technology involves aspects ranging from mould design to mould heating and cooling, and demoulding methods. Not all materials are suitable for the process - resin and additive selection are critical.... Click here for more
