3% Material Reduction, 8% Cavity Pressure Reduction & 15% Clamp Tonnage Reduction
Improved Thermal Insulation
As the packaging market turns to thicker walled, reusable containers, and compostable resins, the MuCell® microcellular foaming technology brings a range of benefits such as improved thermal insulation, density reduction for light weighting and also improved processability and faster decomposition for compostable resins.
Combining the MuCell® process with technologies such as EcoCore® by Bockatech allows for very low density, lightweight containers with excellent thermal insulation.
SCF Aids in the Processing of Compostable Materials
The use of supercritical fluids improves material flow aiding in the processing of compostable materials in limited use applications such as cutlery, cups and plates. In addition, the cellular structure increases the surface area of the plastic offering the potential for faster decomposition.
