Reaction Injection Molding (RIM) Applications

The applications for reaction injection molding (RIM) are very extensive due to the number of polyurethane material system formulations available to mold with. Applications for RIM are usually those with low annual production volumes associated with them. Usually these can range from 200 units per year up to 20,000 units.
