ASH Industries' rotational molds are less expensive than injection molding tooling as they do not have to be large, bulky, and built to withstand the tremendous pressures of injection molding.

ROTO-XL™ represents ASH’s unique roto-molding division focusing on tooling & hollow thermoplastic components up to 18’ long and 52” in diameter. ROTO-XL™ molding is a cost effective alternative to injection molding for large plastic parts, components which must be hollow (such as berms, barrels, canoes, kayaks, slides), and those which may be made from commodity thermoplastics (polyethylene or polypropylene).
ROTO-XL™ molded components may also be foam filled, assembled, decorated, and held for drop shipping. Additional services include custom gages for quality, fixturing, foam filling (for additional rigidity & compression strength up to 1400psi), and custom thermoplastic colors. ASH ROTO-XL™ tooling may be cast in aluminum or fabricated steel.
The molds are less expensive than injection molding tooling as they do not have to be large, bulky, and built to withstand the tremendous pressures of injection molding. During ROTO-XL™, the powdered thermoplastic is placed in the mold; the mold is closed, and it is spun in three axes while being heated. After the thermoplastic has been heated and spread evenly on the inner walls of the mold, the mold is cooled, opened, and the part removed. While it takes longer to make a ROTO-XL part than a SuperMold™ component, ROTO-XL™ may be the single unique way to address your manufacturing needs. Let our engineering staff walk you through the best choice for your project.

ASH® Industries is a trusted manufacturer that is dedicated to seeing you and your product succeed. We offer a complete suite of in-house manufacturing and engineering services dedicated to molding, tooling, project engineering (DFM-Design for Manufacturing), & production management (including tooling, process, and mold validation).
Made in America: ASH® is proud to do all our injection molding manufacturing in America, no outsourcing. Every point of our process is done right here in the USA, at our product manufacturing facility in Louisiana. We work with clients all over the United States and can ship products nationally and globally.
Ash Industries' Move-A-Mold™ program can help you begin production of your components within one week. If your group has existing molds and you wish to benefit from ASH’s talents, you can move your molds with absolute assurance that your needs will be given priority.
ASH™ offers several different types of injection molding production processes. There's plastic injection molding, where thermoplastic materials are injected into a mold where they're then allowed to form and curate, creating plastic products.
MIM works similar to the other injection molding processes - powdered metal is combined with a binding material and then injected into a mold where it's left to form and curate. The end result is a metal part. The process is ideal for the short and long-run production of metal parts, especially those that are smaller in size and more detailed in terms of properties.
Silicone liquid injection molding, or LIM, is a manufacturing process commonly used to make silicone parts (considered a subset of rubber or thermoset) that need to withstand extreme conditions, regardless of the industry. The process is an injection molding process at heart, meaning that materials are injected into a pre-made mold, where heat accelerates part curing. Then, the process repeats itself until the part run is complete.
Ash Industries goes the extra mile when it comes to making their products. Because of their commitment to your parts they are ITAR Registered, ISO 9001:2015 Certified, and ISO Class 7 Cleanroom Certified.

Ive built a lot of molds and had ovens.
Molded tons of things/
That was the best presentation regarding mould features
I have ever heard.!!

[@bobhayes4051]

Can you make a mold of a kayak ?

[@camiloaguilar7231]

What company do you work for?. I have built lots of molds here in Texas

[@azizybiz818]

Do you have mold for sale like kayak (any) or pool slider, just to have an idea if I can start such project...thanks in advance.

[@CoreyC68]

How does it release? Is the tooling cooled to assist? Can there be an Acrylic tooling similarly to this same process?

[@elliskye7559]

instablaster.

[@bobhayes4051]

How long and much would it take to make a mold for a new kayak ?
A ballpark figure, 10 foot sit on top kayak .
