Structural Foam Moulding

Lightweight parts with foamed core.

his plastic moulding process produces parts with dense skin and foamed core. The process allows for a significant weight reduction, with a lower material consumption, while maintaining high rigidity. The process also reduces warpage of the moulded part and prevents sink marks.

Applications for structural foam moulding:

Foam moulding is used to lower the weight of components used in vehicles, aircraft, and sports equipment.

More information:

Nitrogen gas is injected into the melt before it is injected into the mould. A solid skin is formed, and the mould core is subsequently retracted a few millimeters, which allows the pressurised nitrogen to expand and create a uniform microcellular foam structure. The typical density reduction compared with solid parts is 7 to 10 percent, but higher reductions are possible. The process can be used with most thermoplastic materials.

Product variants

The sample you get:

We have two sample options (see the product pictures):

1. A piece of foamed polypropylene (PP) that is cut, so you can easily see the foamed core. It measures ~8 cm x ~8 cm.

2. A large tray measuring 32 cm x 21 cm.
