Advantages
Compared to open mould processes
- Shorter cycle times
- Process safety
- Reduced labour costs
- Reduced styrene emission
- No air inhibition of the hardening reaction
Parts
- Defined wall thickness
- High-quality surfaces may be achieved on both sides
- Freedom of design
- Integration of functions
- Defined layer structure
- Component parts with large surface areas
- Complex geometries
- High dynamic strength
- Integrated fire resistance
- Fibre volume content may be adjusted as needed
General Points
- Continuous-fibre and special reinforcing materials may be used
- Core materials and inserts are easily integrated
- Colouration and pre-treatment of surfaces
- Large-sized blow moulded parts can be made of one piece
