What Is Structural Foam Molding Process?

Structural foam molding is a widely used low pressure injection molding process. In thisprocess, the plastic is melted and then is foamed with a chemical blowing agent or nitrogengas. As the plastic fills the specific mold, the wall solidifies against the cold wall of the mold –solidifying a thin layer of plastic along the mold wall. This thin layer then forms a sort of skinstructure over the foamed inner core. The solid thin outer wall is rightly supported by theinterior cellular foam structure.

There are many benefits of using structural foam molding process. It is widely used formanufacturing different sized parts ranging from huge ones to small. The parts produced arestronger and are potentially longer lasting part. For several larger parts, thicker walls arerequired that standard injection molding can't produce efficiently. This process allows for theinjection molding of such parts by the addition of a foaming agent. Additionally, in this process,any sort of injection moldable plastic can be used to manufacture the parts. The greatestadvantages of structural foam molding process for manufacturers is that multiple parts canbe simultaneously molded on the same machine cycle – consequently saving time andexpenses.
