In rotational molding, plastic in powdered form is placed inside a hollow mold. The mold is closed, and then spun on two perpendicular axes, simultaneously. Centrifugal force distributes the powdered resin, throughout the mold. Next, the mold is heated, while still spinning, to melt the plastic. Spinning continues as the mold is cooled to solidify the plastic object. When it has cooled sufficiently, the mold is stopped, opened, and the item removed. For many objects, such as containers, cutting in openings or other features is the next step. Rotational Molding has some use for forming large bulk containers and also for forming the round balls used in dispensing containers for roll-on-deodorant, but otherwise is used very little in packaging.
