Reaction Injection Molding (RIM)
Osborne Delivers A New Dimension to
RIM Molding
Normally RIM cannot compete economically with other processes for
intermediate volumes of 500 to 50,000 parts per year because of high tooling and
operating costs. But we have successfully developed low-cost composite tooling
and production methods that enable us to be highly competitive – even at very
low production volumes.
Durable, Low-Cost Composite RIM Molds Offer Production Flexibility
- Market test your new concepts
inexpensively
- Keep investment tied to market success
- Increase to full production as sales grow
- Profit from low- and medium-volume
RIM production and from long mold service life
- Then convert to high-speed metal tooling for
high-volume production when your market dictates
Osborne Handles
Larger Parts and Tougher Specifications
- Large, heavy, high-performance parts up to 25
sq ft and 50 lbs and more are routine for us
- Platen size and tonnage of our presses can
handle your largest parts
- Precise control of reaction chemistry, cure
times, additives, and reinforcements means we can meet or exceed your
toughest product requirements
- We design RIM polymer formulations for
everything from tough elastomers to rigid structural foams
Quality
is Always Assured
- SPC methods control all phases of production
to ensure defect-free deliveries
- All incoming RIM material must meet
exacting quality tests
- All parts are fully post-cured under
controlled conditions for optimum physical properties
- Our quality assurance laboratory provides NIST-traceable measurements for
accurate SPC control
