Trexel Packaging Benefits
Recyclable Products
Trexel allows recycling in package creation. Since the physical foaming process does not alter the chemistry of the polymer, MuCell® foamed products can be recycled within their designated material group.
Thinner Wall Molding
The substantially-reduced injection pressure of Trexel molding (in comparison to conventional molding) allows for thinner wall molding applications without increasing the clamp tonnage of the molding machine. (In some cases, the technology even allows for clamp tonnage reduction.)
Unique Design Freedom
The elimination of flow restrictions during cavity filling provide for unique design freedom, such as the thickest walls at the end of fill for sealing lips in food containers. Part cost savings with MuCell® are typically 5 to 15%.
