Abstract
During the rotational moulding of plastics there are a number of key temperatures that influence to a large extent the production of good quality parts. Using well established relationships between the structure and processibility of plastics, this paper explains why polyethylene is much easier to process by rotational moulding than other polymers such as polyamides, poly(ethylene terephtalate), poly(vinylchloride) or polypropylene.Keywords
