MuCell Microcellular Injection Molding Processing Technology
Empire Precision Plastics now offers MuCell molding technology, developed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Trexel, Inc. This new technology has tremendous capabilities never before seen with other molding processes.
This microcellular foam process is unique because it can be applied to thin-wall parts, and to materials that cannot be foamed successfully with any other foaming technologies.
The benefits of MuCell in small-part molding include:
- Enhanced Dimensional Stability
- Reduction of Flash
- Decreased Part Warping
- Decreased Mold-In-Material Stress
- Reduction of Part Weight, by Approximately 10%
- Reduced Cooling Time, Iin Cycle
- Signifcantly Lower In-Mold Cavity Pressure
- Lower Cost of Parts and Tooling
- Elimination of Quality Problems
