Define and describe slush molding

What will be an ideal response?


Slush molding is a process that uses a powdered resin suspended in a nonvolatile solvent as the starting material. The mold and processing equipment can be similar, at least in function, to standard rotomolding equipment. The mold is filled with the liquid material and is then heated and rotated so that the walls are uniformly coated with material that sticks as it becomes hot. When the material

stuck to the walls of the mold has reached the desired thickness, the mold rotation is stopped and the excess liquid is poured out of the mold. The mold is then returned to the oven and rotated until fused. The cycle is completed by cooling and then unloading the part.
