Rotational moulding produces high quality plastic products which are characterised by their strength and durability. It offers distinct advantages:
- The end products are stronger than those produced by vacuum or injection moulding, with greater wall thickness and higher impact strength
- They are weather resistant, frost proof and have excellent UV resistance
- Start-up costs tend to be lower; steel tools are usually a quick and economical way to bring new products to market
- There is greater flexibility when altering a mould
- Mould repairs and maintenance can be carried out in house
- On many machines several tools can be run at the same time, maximising the efficiency of the process
- Different weight products can be moulded by increasing the polymer weight and cooking, allowing heavy duty versions of the same product to be made
- Using different polymers can alter not only the colour but also the texture of the finish
- Fast manufacturing times
