Foaming Injection Molding System

Under the drive of lightweight and environmental awareness, using new technologies to reduce the product weight and the impact on environment has received increasing attention. “Foaming injection molding” application is one of the important developments. The technology of physical foaming is becoming mature enough to replace chemical foaming, which can achieve the ideal results by adjusting the process parameters, and at the same time, it can also solve the problem of sink mark caused by uneven foam cell size.

	Chemical foam	Physical foam (MuCell)
Mechanical strength	Unstable	Extremely good
Foam dimension	Difficult to control	Adjustable
Foam density	Difficult to control	Controllable
Scope of use	High temperature plastic materials only	Applicable with more plastics materials
Chemical substances	Poisonous chemical compounds	Natural gas- N2

FCS has introduced this technique 5 years before, and successfully tested and sold it on LM (two-platen), HT (toggle hydraulic), FA (advanced servo), CT-e (all-electric), and FB(multi-component) injection molding machines, and has been helping the customers developing new producing with MuCell technique.
