Perhaps you could pass this on to SeaStructures.I spoke to the president of Sea Structures today and he was very interested in this process and is in the process of contacting Kurt. I am pleased that this mailing list has grown large enough so I am able to find the critical business contacts that Sea Structures needs to become a viable company. Of course, it wouldn't hurt if the list got bigger...From the information given I would guess that SeaCells are rotationally molded. Sea Structures may wish to investigate molding SeaCells using a DCPD RIM (Dicyclopentadine Reaction Injection Molding) process. Raw materials will be more expensive, but molds can be cycled much more quickly (a molded can be cycled about every three minutes). The mold and molding equipment will also be cheaper than for injection molding. The process is also better suited to larger plastic parts than injection molding and the material is chemical and impact resistant.
At present, Polaris, Arctic Cat, Kawasaki, and Yamaha all mold their snowmobile hoods using this process. Honda molds body for its utility cart, several Japanese companies mold body panels for construction equipment, and we have had interest expressed from John Deere, Caterpillar, and Case about the process.
The company I work for is a DCPD RIM molder. [...]
