Why is Structural Foam Molding So Reliable?

1. Why is Structural Foam Molding So Reliable? It is a method of manufacturing in which two components (polyol & isocyanate) are used to create polyurethane. This method is similar to the plastic injection molding process because that prepared polyurethane is injected into the mold, but the difference is that Structural Foam Molding doesn't require high pressure to form the product. This process is mostly used to manufacture such parts which are required to be lightweight and rigid. The main benefits of the structural molding process have been given in the following article so that you will be able to opt for the best for yourself. It Doesn’t Need High Pressures: In this process, an inert gas is mixed with the chosen plastic and when the mixture is injected into the mold, the inert gas gets expanded and it fills the mold cavity. Thus, high pressure isn't needed during the whole molding process because when the hot melt metal touches the colder cavities, it becomes solid and the final product gets prepared with thin layers and enough rigidness.

2. The Steel Molds are Not Mandatory: One of the most important advantages of opting for the Structural Foam Molding process is that you don't need to use the steel molds and thus, it saves the money because the steel is a costlier metal than other metals. You can opt for either the aluminium or any other less expensive metal for the molds, but only if you have chosen the structural foam molding process. Thus, it can help you to lower the manufacturing cost because you will not be required to use the steel molds. The Slow Speed of the Production: You should be aware of the fact the production speed will be slow if you opt for the Structural Foam Molding process and it is the only thing which is not good about this method. Regardless the low production speed, this method is used for the manufacturing of the safe and sturdy parts because it is one of the most reliable manufacturing methods. Note: We don't suggest this method if you want to manufacture the products on a large scale or if you don't want to produce rigid and lightweight end products.
