State-of-the-Art of Rotational Moulding Technique and its Application

Article Preview

Abstract:

With the rapid development of plastic products in the world and the increasingly sophistication of plastic technology, rotational moulding (RM), has become the most practical and irreplaceable way of producing the large and super large containers like tanks, tank, etc. Compared with injection moulding and blow moulding, RM has the characteristics of low cost and easy-to-use, and its application has been extended into many domains. The principle of rotational moulding and comparison of raw material by the requirement of rotational moulding is introduced. The paper emphasizes the introduction of state-of-the-art of RM equipment; also it points out the development of RM.
