Features: Microcellular plastics can save raw materials by approximately 15%, and the MuCell microcellular plastic forming process reduces the molding cycle and lowers the clamping force of the injection machine. The products manufactured using this process have no residual stress, preventing warping and deformation. As a result, production costs can be significantly reduced. Additionally, this foaming process does not use any hydrocarbons, making it an environmentally friendly process. More and more plastic processing manufacturers are investing small amounts of money to modify their existing injection machines and extrusion machines, utilizing microcellular forming processes to produce at commercial speeds, thereby enhancing their competitiveness. If the microcellular process is applied to product design and this factor is also considered in cost accounting, end-users also benefit. To facilitate equipment modification and enable manufacturers and end-users to fully utilize this advanced technology, this book provides detailed descriptions of all key components.
