Reaction Injection Molding (RIM Molding) Design Guidelines

Reaction Injection Molding often finds cost effective application as a replacement for sheet metal enclosures. Advantages include lower unit costs, a more attractive design, lighter weight, and better insulation and chemical resistance values. In addition, RIM Molding components won't rust or deteriorate over time. Another significant advantage is that Reaction Injection Molding parts can often be designed to reduce piece counts in the final assembly by molding attachment hardware into the RIM part.

Summary of advantages of Reaction Injection Molding vs. Metal:

  • Lower unit cost
  • Attractive, sculpted design
  • Lighter weight
  • Better insulation properties
  • Better chemical resistance
  • Won't rust
  • Less assembly time
