Slush Molding and Rotational Casting: These processes are used when an application requires a thin, uniform wall thickness. The automotive industry is one of the largest markets for these processes, using them in applications such as interior trim parts, instrument panels, armrests and headrests, center consoles and air-bag doors.  Slush molding produces hollow, flexible items by filling a mold with vinyl powder, heating it sufficiently to gel a layer next to the inner mold surface and removing the excess powder. The gelled layer is then completely fused and stripped from the mold. Rotational casting consists of a two-part mold filled with a predetermined weight of vinyl powder, inserted into a heated oven and rotated on the mold wall on two planes simultaneously.

Our vinyl powders can be formulated and certified for end-use automotive, FDA, UL, ASTM, NSF, USDA, military, medical or customer-specific applications.
