Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0038897A1] A method of rotation moulding comprises forming a reactant thermoplastic melt in a mould (1, 20). The reactant thermoplastic melt comprises a mixture of thermoplastic pre-polymer, such as lactam (12) and a polymerisation activator. The pre-polymer and activator may be mixed in the mould under an inert atmosphere or a premix of the pre-polymer and activator may be formed prior to delivery into a mould (1). The premix may be stored under an inert atmosphere in a sealed container such as a bag (16) from which it may be delivered into a mould (20) at room temperature. Alternatively the reactant melt may be formed in the mould (1) by delivering a pre-polymer into the mould and injecting a polymerisation activator into the mould.
