Rotational Moulding at Contact Plastics
Innovative Plastic Manufacturing Solutions for Every Industry
At Contact Plastics, we specialise in rotational moulding (also called rotomoulding), a versatile and cost-effective process for creating durable, hollow plastic products. From scooter cargo boxes and cabinets to road safety solutions and industrial containers, our rotomoulding capabilities deliver high-quality, long-lasting results for a wide range of industries.
What is Rotational Moulding?
Rotational moulding is a plastic manufacturing technique where powdered plastic is placed in a hollow mould, heated, and rotated to create seamless, uniform, and durable products. Unlike injection or blow moulding, rotomoulding allows for complex shapes, large hollow parts, and consistent wall thickness — all with minimal post-processing.
Ideal for: Low to medium production volumes, custom parts, and complex designs
Benefits: High durability, design flexibility, UV stability, and cost efficiency

1. The Rotomoulding Process
We follow a precise, step-by-step process to ensure quality and consistency:
- Stage 1: Loading the mould with powdered plastic
- Stage 2: Sealing and transfer to the oven
- Stage 3: Heating and rotation for even coating
- Stage 4: Cooling phase
- Stage 5: Final cooling and rotation
- Stage 6: Unloading and inspection
2. Moulds & Materials
Choosing the right mould and material is critical for product performance:
- Fabricated Steel Moulds: Affordable, durable, ideal for simple parts
- Cast Aluminium Moulds: Better heat distribution, medium detail flexibility
- CNC Aluminium Moulds: High-precision, complex designs, tight tolerances
Materials: LLDPE, HDPE, PP, and specialised polymers for flame retardancy, chemical resistance, or anti-microbial properties. All UV-stabilised for outdoor durability.
