Italtech (represented in Spain by Centrotécnica) offers to the market of the transformation by injection, the innovative technology of MuCell injection, licensed to Trexel; developed by Trexel Inc.. allowing mold parts with innumerable advantages in terms of economy and quality, with a minimum technical variation and cost of connection to a standard fuel transfer.
The MuCell technology is based on a particular method of injection, creating microscopic cells of 5 to 50 microns of gas (CO2 or N2), which is introduced during the phase of plasticizing the material inside the polymer.
This technique allows to greatly reduce the cost of the molded part, increasing its mechanical properties and eliminating defects or residual stresses.
With this process the viscosity of the material is reduced, thereby necessitating even below 50% injection pressure. It also reduces the cycle time of the machine by up to 30%, disappearing the time usually required cooling and maintenance. Also reduces the weight of the piece between 10 and 40% depending on the type of the piece and the thickness of its walls. In addition to the use of this technology can reduce the closing force required to inject the piece around a 20 and even up to 80%, always depending on the thickness of the transform piece.
The materials in which you can use the MuCell system are varied: PA6/6, PC, ABS, PP, EPT and HDPE, apart from other compounds in which is currently under investigation.
