Rotational Molding is the process used to manufacture a wide variety of products, including the Weight-Mates. The process consists of placing powder polymer materials inside of a mold that is heated while rotating bi-axially in an oven, then cooled for a determined length of time in a cooling chamber where it continues to rotate. Because the rotomolding process does not require force or pressure, virtually no stress in involved or molded into the products. This is what gives rotational molding a direct durability advantage when compared to other plastics molding processes such as injection molding or blow molding. Rotomolding produces wildly durable parts such as playground equipment, nuclear waste tanks, septic tanks and so much more. This durability is what allows the Weight-Mates to be top loaded and allow you to keep working with your all-weather traction device!
