Synopsis

Rotational moulding is a very competitive alternative to blow moulding, thermoforming and injection moulding for the manufacture of hollow plastic parts. It offers designers the chance to produce stress-free articles, with uniform wall thickness and complex shapes. Rapra's Practical Guide to Rotational Moulding describes the basic aspects of the process and the latest state-of-the-art developments in the industry.
