About us
The MuCell® microcellular foam injection molding process for thermoplastics materials provides unique design flexibility and cost savings opportunities not found in conventional injection molding. The MuCell® process allows for plastic part design with material wall thickness optimized for functionality and not for the injection molding process. The combination of density reduction and design for functionality often results in material and weight savings of more than 20%. By replacing the pack & hold phase with cell growth, lower stress parts parts are produced which have enhanced dimensional stability and substantially reduce warpage. Cell growth also results in the elimination of sink marks. Unlike chemical foaming agents, the physical MuCell® process has no temperature limitation and does not leave any chemical residue in the polymer; making consumer products perfectly suitable for recycling within the original polymer classification and allowing re-grind material to reenter the process flow. The numerous cost and processing advantages have led to rapid global deployment of the MuCell® process primarily in automotive, consumer electronics, medical parts, packaging and consumer goods applications.
