Reaction Injection Molding (RIM) and Polyurethane (PUR) MY RIM V1 0001
Video captures the many commercial and industrial applications of RIM using various polyurethane foam systems. Shows the open pour injection method for automotive rigid parts and also highlights the closed injection method used to make large format parts including device enclosures, housings, covers, panels and other structural parts. The RIM technology coupled with PUR allows designers to make very large one-shot parts, parts with varying wall thickness and also enables the designer to design function and aestetics into both sides of the part. Reaction injection molding offers many more advantages than thermoforming or fiberglass lay up technologies. Using low cost aluminum tooling, Thieme and RIM can make your low annual volume production runs (100-10000 parts) a success. Thieme Corporation, located in St. Charles, IL (Chicago) USA has current machine capacity to run large format parts up to 6′ x 6′ x 2′ in a single shot. We also have numerous polyurethane material systems to choose from to meet all your product needs in the medical, agricultural, automotive, sports and industrial markets. Call me now to learn more about RIM, Thieme or our polyurethane foam systems. We offer free in-house design workshops to assist your company in making parts in RIM. Call or write me now.

Yes, you could make body panels using this technology. You would need an aluminum tool in most cases. The cost of such will vary on the size of the panel, it’s geometry and average wall section. You will also need a very large carrier system for the tool and a big enough wet system. Contact us for more information.
dear sir,
can you make bodykits as well ?as you know bodykits can be made by fiberglass and polyurethane ,how it works for polyuethane? do we need machine ?how much ?
Is the Reaction Injection Molding (RIM) the same thing called “Integral Polyurethane”
We make large automotive bumpers using this technology and material system.
Not sure. It just played fine for me. I don’t think you can “download” the video’s from You Tube.
If you continue to have trouble viewing video’s from YouTube, especially this one on RIM, let me know and I can forward a copy to you via postal mail perhaps. The files are too large for regular e-mail transmission.
I can not load (download) the video films in YouTub, why? I am eager to see you science and technology video. Please let us to axcess the films. Thank you
