Commonly used Materials in Rotomoulding |
Commonly Used Materials:
Are you aware of common material that can be molded from the process of rotomolding? If no, then we are discussing some of the generally processes materials in rotomolding such as Nylon, Polycarbonates, Polyvinyl chloride, Polypropylene, and Polyethylene.
| Nylon |
Nylon is related to the thermoplastics fraternity, popularly called polyamides. This synthetic fabric is formulated from petroleum derivatives. Few standard uses of this rotomolding material can be found in multiple daily use products because of its salient attributes of impeccable tensile strength, light in weight and good resistance to wear & tear.

| Polycarbonate |
Polycarbonates are a group of lightweight, high-performance thermoplastic polymers commercially available under the trade names Lexan and Makrolon. PolycarbonateEngineering grade polycarbonates possesses very high heat resistance, tensile strength and creep resistance and are quite stiff. Also, they are quite resistant to scratch and display appropriately high melt flow index (MFI).

| Polyvinyl chloride |
Polyvinyl Chloride or PVC as it is more widely known is a versatile synthetic thermoplastic processed by the polymerization of vinyl chloride. It is the third mostwidely used thermoplastic after Polyethylene and Polypropylene.Its durability, resistance to fire, chemical compounds, solvents and stress makes it a very popular choice in engineering processes like casting, rotomolding and injection moulding.

| Polypropylene |
Polypropylene, also known as polypropylene, is a thermoplastic polymer which enjoys extensive usage both industrially and in consumer goods. C3H6 is the chemical formula of this polymer and it is broadly used as a fiber and structural plastic. The properties of polypropylene such as excellent resistance to fatigue, high temperatures and chemical reactions have made it popular for the rotomolding processes.

| Polyethylene |
Polyethylene, or polythene as it is commonly called, are polymer consisting of long chains of the monomer ethylene processed by polymerization of ethane. These thermoplastic commodity is probably the most widely used type of plastic with an annual production that exceeds 80 million metric tons approximately.
