Technology
| TECARIM is the trade name given by ENSINGER to the product group comprised by tough, high-performance polyamide 6-block co-polymers, produced in NYRIM using Reaction Injection Moulding technology. Manufacture of parts by the TECARIM process is particularly suggested when the quantity is too large for production by machining and is thus uneconomical and, on the other hand, injection moulding cannot be used, due to large wall thicknesses or even insufficiently high quanitities. The pressureless moulding process and subsequent reaction in the mould provide the typical advantages of the TECARIM process. • the realisation of extreme wall thickness variations in the moulded component • the problem-free integration of inserts and reinforcement materials • stress- and draft-free moulded components • aluminium serial tools • no flow lines or weak points • moulded component weights of 0.5 - 18 kg • complex and sophisticated moulded parts, including the formation of hollows using special cores |
