Reaction Injection Molding - RIM Molding
RIM is a process where reactive liquid components-usually thermoset polyurethane-are mixed inside a closed mold cavity under pressure. This process is widely used in the automotive industry to produce internal and external parts.
Reinforced Reaction Injection Molding (R-RIM) is the process when short strands are introduced for reinforcement.
Structural Reaction Injection Molding (S-RIM) is the process when long strand reinforcements are introduced and is used for the highest strength parts.
