The Science Behind TecoCell®
TecoCell®, which is produced through a specialized and patented process, creates a homogeneous gas/cell matrix by utilizing uniform size CaCO3 particles of .08 microns.
The CaCO3 nanoparticles distribute themselves evenly in the material system, resulting in a strong and constant cell structure throughout the blow molded or injection molded part. The uniformity of the cell gives the user a lightweight part with low warpage, faster cycles times, better stiffness and higher heat distortion properties.
This even distribution and small cell size of the TecoCell® additive is especially effective in unfilled PP and PE materials. These materials are commonly used for blow molded automotive ducts and injection molded thin-wall packaging.

Smallest Cells = Greatest Benefits
TecoCell® technology produces the smallest cell size achievable (50 – 200 microns) through the exclusive use of nano-sized, (<=0.08 micron) CaCO3 particles.
TecoCell’s cell size and uniform distribution result in superior mechanical properties and surface appearance compared to conventional chemical forming agents.
Easy to Test and Implement
TecoCell® provides immediate cost savings and improvements that can be proven out during a short mold trial. Contact Trexel today to discuss how TecoCell® can benefit your specific application. A complimentary sample of TecoCell® and remote trial support will be provided on applications determined to be good candidates.

Cleaner, Greener Chemistry
TecoCell® chemistry is a cleaner process. All ingredients in the TecoCell® formulation and their reaction products are environmentally friendly. CO2, water and citric salts, all inert and benign, are the only by-products. In contrast, traditional chemical foaming agents produce hazardous by-products that can corrode molds and are environmentally harmful.
