In today’s article, we’ll talk about these polyethylene materials. We’ll explore how rotomolded part projects are developed here at Rotoplastyc and detail the manufacturing process, highlighting its importance and the benefits it offers. Check it out!

What are rotomolded parts?

These products are manufactured through the rotomolding process, in which the plastic material, polyethylene, is heated until it becomes liquid and then shaped into a specific form through the rotation of the mold in two directions.

The method allows the creation of hollow, seamless, and uniform parts, ensuring high resistance and long service life. This process is widely used for producing technical parts due to its ability to create complex and customized shapes.

What is the importance of these materials?

Polyethylene, the base material of rotomolded parts, is known for its excellent mechanical and chemical properties. It is corrosion-resistant, highly durable, and capable of with standing different temperature variations.

Additionally, it is lightweight, flexible, and performs well in harsh environments, making it the ideal choice for various industrial applications.

In our COMPLETE GUIDE TO ROTOMOLDING: PROCESSES, BENEFITS, AND APPLICATIONS, you’ll discover all the advantages that rotomolded parts can offer.

The industrial sectors that use polyethylene parts the most

Rotomolded polyethylene parts are known for their ability to withstand harsh conditions and provide efficient solutions. Some of the main sectors that use these materials include:

Fuel and hydraulic tanks

These parts are ideal for manufacturing storage containers due to their chemical resistance and leak-proof performance, ensuring safety and reliability.

Agricultural sector

Rotomolded parts are widely used in the agricultural sector, thanks to their durability and efficiency in storing chemical products.

They can be found in planters, in seed and fertilizer boxes, for example, as well as in tractors, sprayers, corn harvesting platforms, and many other pieces of equipment commonly used in farming.

Sanitation

Rotomolded products are essential for sanitation systems, including piping and tanks for water and sewage treatment, as they do not corrode and can with stand humid and aggressive environments.

Road sector

These parts are widely used in vehicle components such as fuel tanks and toolboxes, providing lightness and impact resistance.

Civil construction

Polyethylene is used in drainage systems, insulation, and water storage, offering durable and cost-effective solutions for infrastructure projects.
