An environmentally friendly physical foaming method that utilizes nitrogen and carbon dioxide in a supercritical state. It allows for a reduction in resin usage and improvement in dimensional accuracy.
The "MuCell Microcellular Foam Molding System" is an environmentally friendly physical foaming method that utilizes supercritical nitrogen or carbon dioxide. It offers unique characteristics not found in traditional methods, such as weight reduction through foaming, reduction in resin usage, increased design flexibility utilizing foaming, thinning due to improved flowability, and downsizing of molding machines due to reduced clamping force. Additionally, unlike chemical foaming methods, it provides recycling characteristics equivalent to those of conventional molding, making it suitable for the production of consumer products that require environmental considerations. The MuCell microcellular foam molding system is now compatible not only with injection molding but also with blow molding,extrusion molding.
**Features**
- Weight reduction and resin usage reduction
- Improved dimensional accuracy (reduction of sink marks and warpage)
- Low-pressure molding and thinning due to reduced foaming and resin viscosity
- High cycle times and increased productivity due to reduced holding pressure time
- Reduced mold costs
- Enhanced design flexibility
- Shortened development time
- Sustainability
