Reaction Injection Moulding
From small to large and lightweight to heavy parts in polyurethane (PUR) or DCPD (Telene®) for demanding applications
What this solution offers
RIM blends two low-viscosity components that react inside a temperature-controlled mould, expanding to fill even the most complex cavities. We process rigid, flexible and micro-cellular polyurethane (PUR) as well as DCPD (Telene®) for extreme impact performance . Typical parts range from electronic housings to agricultural body panels up to 3 m, with wall thicknesses from 3 mm to 25 mm. Tooling is aluminium or epoxy, priced a fraction of steel dies and ideal for batches from 100 to 20,000 a year. Integrated inserts, ribs and local foaming zones reduce secondary assembly.
