Polyurethane moulding is a popular manufacturing process that is used in many industries, including automotive, aerospace, and construction. While it offers many advantages such as durability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness, it doesn’t need to have a detrimental impact on the environment. This article will explore the environmental impact of polyurethane moulding and how companies like Midas Pattern Co. are working towards a greener future.
What is Polyurethane Moulding?
Polyurethane moulding is a process that involves injecting polyurethane resin into a mould to create a desired shape or product. The process is widely used in manufacturing because of its versatility, durability, and ability to produce complex shapes. Polyurethane moulding is used in a variety of applications such as automotive parts, aerospace, marine transportations and many more!
Environmental Impact of Midas Pattern Co.’s Polyurethane Moulding
Our moulding process offers many benefits over other moulding processes. Due to this, our reducing impact on the environment is becoming noticeable overtime and we aim to drive a greener future. Here are the more beneficial processes which Midas Pattern Co. uses:
MRIM Tooling – Midas uses Composite Resin MRIM tooling which needs no heating or cooling, making it extremely energy efficient to use. Thanks to this, the Midas polyurethane moulding process uses the least amount of electricity and heat when compared to other plastic moulding processes.
Net Near Shape Casting – Our Polyurethane Moulding is cast to net near shape, resulting in minimal waste and scrap material produced, as opposed to processes requiring post moulding machining to achieve their final form
Zero Waste to Landfill Policy – Any minimal waste produced throughout polyurethane moulding, is either recycled into bulk fillers or burnt as ‘Refuse Derived Fuel – RDF’ to provide electricity.
