RIM Question What is RIM? How is RIM different from traditional injection molding? How many kinds of RIM are there? What are the major RIM materials? Is my part right for RIM? What RIM finishes are available?

What are the major RIM materials? Structural foam Foam refers to the microscopic bubble like structure formed during the molding. RIM foams range from flexible to rigid. Elastomerics Elastomeric RIM can be soft and pliable, mimicking rubber, to sufficiently rigid for enclosure applications. Glass reinforced Fiber glass filled RIM can range from flexible to solid. Rim composites Structural RIM (SRIM) is classified a composite when RIM encapsulates fiberglass or carbon fibers and mats.       © 2008 Rimnetics, Inc.   Mountain View & Loomis, California | Rimnetics is ISO 9001:2000 Certified
