Technology options
- RIM – Reactive injection
- RRIM – Reactive injection containing fillers
- SRIM – Structural reactive injection moulding (containing 2D or 3D reinforcements)
The required conditions for this process are the very low viscosity of the injected mass at a lower temperature than the temperature of the mould.
DCPD-RIM
Dicyclopentadiene-based reactive injection technology is suitable for the production of large exterior parts for trucks, buses, construction machinery and agricultural vehicles.
The parts are characterized by their high resistance to stress.
PU-RIM
Reactive casting technology enables the very flexible setting of the properties of polyurethane parts (compact, lightweight, soft, hard, elastic).
PU-RIM is suitable for the production of small and large parts.
PA-RIM
Reactive injection technology enables the very flexible adjustment of the properties of polyamide parts (hard or elastic) with the possibility of direct recycling.
Advantages of RIM technology
- less investment in moulds and injection units;
- easier filling of complicated and large parts;
- optimization of properties with respect to specific requirements.
RIM technology is optimal for series production ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands of parts.
