RIM Materials

The materials used for our RIM process have been specifically developed to allow us to offer a balanced combination of properties for ease of production with the best possible mechanical and physical properties of the finished part.

Polyurethane Elastomers

• We offer Materials that are designed to simulate the common properties of thermoplastic materials such as
  • ABS
  • Polypropylene
• Fire Retardant to UL94V0
• Wall sections from 4-15mm and as low as 2.5mm locally
• Parts with variable wall sections can be moulded without sinking issues
• Unlimited design scope
• Parts can be post finished easily with colour, texture and gloss level
• RFI shielding can be applied to the parts surface for specific applications
• Metal inserts can be incorporated into the moulding or inserted after for optimum accuracy
• Tight tolerances. 0.4mm over 500mm Linear

Structural Foams

• A lightweight foam that is used to make device housings, structural mouldings, facias and covers
• An extreemely tough foamed material with a dense outer skin and a lightweight rigid core
• Can be both in-mould coated using our bespoke IMC process which keeps costs low OR
• Post finished and Painted to a very high standard using our fully equipped in-house spray paint shop
• Excellent strength to weight ratio
• Moulded From 400Kg/m³ to 700 Kg/m³ depending on strength requirements
• Fire Retardant to UL94V0
• RFI shielding can be applied to the parts surface for specific applications
• Tight tolerances. 0.4mm over 500mm Linear

PU Rubber

• Out PU Rubber provides a solid yet soft touch alternative to foam or injection moulded parts requiring low volume.
• Various colours are possible
• Inexpensive set up costs
