Unique Advantages and Application Prospects of Rotational Molding Furniture Mold

Rotational molding, also known as rotational molding, is a thermoplastic hollow molding method. In this process, the mold is continuously rotated and heated along two vertical axes. Under the action of gravity and heat energy, the plastic raw materials in the mold are evenly coated, melted and adhered to the surface of the mold cavity, and become products after cooling and shaping. This process gives rotational molding furniture mold great design flexibility. Roto-molding molds can be composed of two or more pieces, and there are almost no strict restrictions on their shapes and sizes. Designers can give full play to their creativity and combine several parts into a complete mold, greatly reducing the high assembly costs. It can also be designed as a multi-wall mold, which can be hollow inside or filled with foam, providing more possibilities for the functionality and aesthetics of furniture.

Cost-effective, suitable for diversified production needs

Compared with other plastic molding processes such as injection molding and blow molding, rotational molding molds have obvious advantages in terms of cost. Injection molds are usually complex in structure, high in manufacturing precision, and relatively expensive, especially for large products, the mold cost is even more staggering. The structure of the rotomolding mold is relatively simple, and the manufacturing process requirements are relatively low, which greatly reduces the mold cost and is only a part of the cost of the injection mold of the same size. The rotomolding process is not limited by the product size and is particularly suitable for the production of large-scale, hollow furniture products. In large-scale production, the cost advantage of a single product is further highlighted due to factors such as the allocation of mold costs and low material consumption. For companies that need to quickly launch new products and adapt to market changes, the rotomolding process can quickly switch molds to achieve the production of different products, greatly shorten the product launch cycle, and improve the company’s market responsiveness. ​

Excellent durability, no fear of harsh environments​

Durability is an important indicator for measuring the quality of furniture, and rotational molding furniture mold performs well in this regard. Since rotomolding products are integrally formed under high temperature and rotational process, no internal stress is generated during the entire process, making the product structure more stable. Furniture manufactured by rotomolding technology is a seamless one-piece design, which reduces the weak links that may occur due to seams, effectively avoids problems such as cracking and water leakage, and greatly improves the durability of the product. The unique wall thickness control ability of rotomolding technology adds a lot to the durability of furniture. When manufacturing furniture molds, the wall thickness can be precisely controlled, so that the edge thickness of the furniture can easily exceed 5 mm, significantly improving the edge strength. For outdoor furniture, it needs to withstand wind, sun, rain, snow and drastic temperature changes for a long time. With its good weather resistance and UV resistance, roto-molded furniture can maintain stable performance and appearance in harsh outdoor environments, and its service life is much longer than that of furniture made of traditional materials. Children’s furniture also has high requirements for durability and safety. Children will inevitably cause collisions and scratches on the furniture during use. The strong edge strength of roto-molded furniture can effectively resist these external forces, ensuring that the furniture remains intact under frequent use, providing children with a safe and reliable use environment. ​

Widely used, suitable for a variety of scenes​

The advantages of rotational molding furniture mold determine its wide range of applications. Outdoors, benches, trash cans placed in public leisure areas such as parks, squares, and communities, as well as tables, chairs, flower boxes, etc. in family courtyards, roto-molded furniture are the first choice for their beautiful, durable and easy maintenance. Its wear resistance, tear resistance and resistance to harsh weather conditions can maintain a good condition for a long time, providing people with a comfortable outdoor experience. Roto-molded furniture also performs well in indoor environments. Stylish side tables in the living room, fun toy storage cabinets in the children’s room, waterproof shelves in the bathroom, etc. Roto-molded furniture integrates into various home styles with its diverse shapes, rich colors and good practicality, meeting people’s dual needs for beauty and functionality. In commercial places such as cafes, restaurants, hotels, etc., the unique design of roto-molded furniture can create a unique atmosphere and attract customers’ attention. At the same time, its durability can also adapt to high-frequency use. ​
