This book clarifies and quantifies many of the technical interactions in the process. It distinguishes itself from other books on the subject by being a seamless story of the advanced aspects of the rotational molding process. There are seven chapters within the book. The US market for rotational molding products was one billion pounds in the year 2000. The growth of the rotational molding industry has grown at 10 to 15% per year. With this growth has come an increasing need for details on the complex, technical aspects of the process.

Rotational moulding (also called rotomoulding or rotocasting), is a low pressure, high temperature manufacturing process that offers 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 relatively stress-free articles, with uniform wall thickness and potentially complex shapes. This second edition of the very popular Practical Guide to Rotational Moulding describes the basic aspects of the process and the latest state-of-the-art developments in the industry. It is completely revised and is extensively illustrated.This guide will be of interest both to students of polymer processing and those who work with rotational moulding equipment.

A highly versatile process, rotational molding allows for incredible design flexibility with the added benefit of low production costs. One of its advantages over other plastics processes is that one can mold more complex shapes with uniform wall thickness. This book provides an introduction to the design, materials, tooling, and process, and helps readers understand and apply the manufacturing techniques involved in rotational molding.

The book ÂœRotational Moulding Technology Hand Book covers :- Innovative Rotomoulding, Technology of Rotational Moulding, Rotational Moulding Process, Roto moulding Technology Details, Materials that can be Roto moulded, Roto moulding Machines, Design Consideration for Roto mould Containers, Rotational Moulding Process Control, Rotational Moulding of Nylons, Moulds Fabrication for Roto moulding, Roto moulds for Cast Aluminium, Pin holes and Bubbles in Roto moulded Products, Rotational Moulding of Liquid Polymers, Powdering Thermoplastic and Quality Consideration, Plastic Water Storage Tanks (HDPE) (Sintex Type), Suppliers of Plant and Machinery of Roto Moulding and Moulds.

An outstanding and thorough presentation of the complete field of plastics processing Handbook of Plastic Processes is the only comprehensive reference covering not just one, but all major processes used to produce plastic products-helping designers and manufacturers in selecting the best process for a given product while enabling users to better understand the performance characteristics of each process. The authors, all experts in their fields, explain in clear, concise, and practical terms the advantages, uses, and limitations of each process, as well as the most modern and up-to-date technologies available in their application. Coverage includes chapters on: Injection molding Compression and transfer molding Sheet extrusion Blow molding Calendering Foam processing Reinforced plastics processing Liquid resin processing Rotational molding Thermoforming Reaction injection molding Compounding, mixing, and blending Machining and mechanical fabrication Assembly, finishing, and decorating Each chapter details a particular process, its variations, the equipment used, the range of materials utilized in the process, and its advantages and limitations. Because of its increasing impact on the industry, the editor has also added a chapter on nanotechnology in plastics processing.
