Common items made via RIM include automotive bumpers, air spoilers, and fenders.

Famous quotes containing the words reaction and/or molding:
“The excessive increase of anything often causes a reaction in the opposite direction.”
—Plato (c. 427347 B.C.)
“To translate, one must have a style of his own, for otherwise the translation will have no rhythm or nuance, which come from the process of artistically thinking through and molding the sentences; they cannot be reconstituted by piecemeal imitation. The problem of translation is to retreat to a simpler tenor of ones own style and creatively adjust this to ones author.”
—Paul Goodman (19111972)
