Rimplas -
Structural Foam Moulding
|
The structural foam process provides designers and engineers with a number of important
advantages.
-
A high ratio of strength to weight with excellent tortional stiffness
-
High impact strength and dimensional stability
-
Reduction of secondary finishing operations
-
Integration of functions for simplified assembly
|
|
|
|
Components can be manufactured with a general wall thickness of 4mm
Mouldings can be manufactured to meet UL94V0 flame retardant specification
|
Fast cycle times coupled with high definition parts promotes the suitability of the process
for medium and high volume production
|
Generally aluminium tooling is suitable, this coupled with the innovative use of multi-cavity tools opens up opportunities for production of lower
volumes
|
|
|
|
Most thermoplastics can be foamed. Noryl, ABS, Polystyrene, and Polycarbonate are
popular and these foamed versions all have similar shrinkages.

Idea
- Design - Prototype - Product - Rimplas will make it
happen.
