October 9, 2000 - Woburn, MA - Trexel, Inc. announced today that Kaysun Corporation has taken a license for a 300-ton MuCell™-equipped injection molding machine to be manufactured by Ferromatik Milacron. Kaysun is a long-established custom molder serving the business equipment, automotive, outdoor power, and telecommunications industries. Trexel is the worldwide leader in the development and commercialization of the MuCell Microcellular Process Technology.

About Trexel

Trexel is the exclusive developer of the MuCell microcellular process technology by virtue of its extensive portfolio of patents in the United States, Canada, Europe, and several Asian countries. While Trexel's primary business is licensing the MuCell technology to injection molders, extruders, blow molders, and equipment manufacturers, Trexel also provides world-class engineering support, training and other services to licensees, and supplies them with equipment and components integral to the MuCell process. In support of these activities, Trexel operates a commercial-scale research laboratory in its Woburn, MA facility.

About MuCell

The MuCell process is suitable for a wide range of injection molded, extruded, and blow molded products as it allows licensees to reduce product costs while enhancing design and processing. MuCell parts, which have a solid-like appearance, contain less material than parts produced through less-current methods, as millions of tiny air pockets take the place of materials while allowing the part to maintain most of its former properties. The process also can eliminate stress, warpage, and sink marks, and greatly improve cycle time. These benefits allow designers to specify lightweight, polymer-saving foam materials for products in which conventionally foamed materials would be unacceptable.

About Kaysun Corporation

Since it's inception in 1946, Kaysun Corporation has evolved from a custom injection molder into an engineered solutions company with projected sales of $30 million in markets like business equipment, automotive, outdoor power, and telecommunications. Kaysun has had a consistent 15% annual growth rate as a result of offering its customers complete technical services such as material analysis, product design, tool design, and construction, molding and manufacturing.
