MuCell Microcellular Injection Molding Processing Technology
Empire Precision Plastics now offers MuCell molding technology, developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Trexel, Inc. This new technology has tremendous capabilities never before seen with other molding processes.
MuCell technology is a unique microcellular foam process because it can be applied to thin-wall parts, and to materials that cannot be foamed successfully with any other methods.
The benefits of MuCell technology in small-part molding include:
- Enhanced dimensional stability
- Reduced flash
- Decreased part warping
- Decreased mold-in-material stress
- Reduced part weight, by approximately 10% to 50%
- Reduced in cycle cooling time
- Significantly lower in-mold cavity pressure
- Lower cost of parts and tooling
- Elimination of quality problems
