Microcellular Processing

A growing number of plastics processors gain a competitive edge by utilizing the commercial microcellular process using existing injection molding or extrusion equipment at commercial production rates with low-cost modifications. End users also gain an advantage when the microcellular process is incorporated into product design. Foamed materials produced by microcellular processes offer improved consistency and homogeneity of their cell structure, which results in superior product properties. Implementation of this novel technology helps the user to make critical improvements in: The reduction in the amount of plastics resin used, Meeting requirements of physical properties, Manufacturing efficiency.

Microcellular Processing presents case studies demonstrating the possible gains for the processor. It integrates real and practical issues of microcellular processing with low-cost modifications and provides a comprehensive description of all crucial elements.
