Trexel’s foaming technologies are used in many diverse industrial applications from shipping pallets to fill level floats in liquid tanks.
Cost and Processing Advantages
Lightweighting
• 8-12% material density reduction
• 20-30% total part weight reduction by designing for MuCell®
Reduced Costs
• Reduced resin consumption
• Faster molding cycle time
• Increased yields
• Smaller molding machine
• Use of lower cost filled polyolefin material
Sustainability
• Reduced petrolium based material consumption
• Reduced molding machine energy consumption
• Ability to re-grind/re-use molded parts
• Reduced carbon footprint versus solid molding
Design Freedom
• Thin to thick wall flow
• 1:1 wall thickness rib structure
• Material where needed for function versus flow
• Improved dimensional stability
• Less warpage
