Allows further penetration of the Trexel MuCell® injection molding technology into the global marketplace
(Trexel, Inc., Wilmington, MA November 4, 2014) Trexel Inc., the exclusive provider of MuCell® Microcellular Foam injection molding technology has recently signed a partnership agreement with Milacron that allows Milacron to incorporate the MuCell technology into their injection molding equipment offering.
"We believe that Milacron is uniquely capable to provide the complete melt distribution and control solution for MuCell systems. Our extensive portfolio of primary processing equipment, combined with industry leading hot runner and control systems will allow MuCell technology to expand into new and untapped markets" said Bruce Catoen, Milacron's Chief Technology Officer.
Catoen went on to elaborate saying "Together with our partner Trexel, Milacron has proven the viability of MuCell in blow molding, co-injection, higher surface finish parts and high cavitation packaging applications. The light weighting, low tonnage, reduced warp and sink benefits of MuCell can now be exploited in markets that were previously not possible. This is a very exciting opportunity for both companies and we are extremely happy to be partnering with Trexel".
Under the agreement, Milacron will receive the rights to resell the Trexel MuCell SCF gas dosing equipment directly to their customers under the Milacron, Ferromatik, Uniloy and Mold-Masters brands while transferring the operating rights under Trexel's patents to their end user without any added fees or costs.
