Trexel delivers some unique advantages to the consumer goods industry beyond just cost reduction, design freedom, and sustainability. MuCell® has been used for its energy return capabilities in athletic footwear and for its buoyancy characteristics in water sports equipment, for example.
Injection Molded Consumer Goods
The MuCell® process provides many unique characteristics in injection molded consumer goods. Below are a few of the many benefits businesses will see, using the Trexel technology in their product creation:
Energy Absorbance
Physical foaming enhances the energy absorbance of TPU and soft PVC molded parts.
Added Buoyancy
The decrease in material density provides injection molded parts used in water sports with added buoyancy.
Reduced Part Cost
Implementing the MuCell® process typically reduces part costs by 10 to 20% as a result of less material consumption, shorter cycle time and reduced machine clamping tonnage requirements.
Dimensional Stability
Many internal paper printer parts are manufactured using the MuCell® process, obtaining dimensionally stable and warpage free components critical to the required accuracy in such parts.
