Foam sheeting, microcellular

An overview is presented of TrexeTs MuCell microcellular foam extrasion technology and a description is given of its application to the manufacture of thermoformable PP sheet. The results of pilot scale thermoforming trials carried ont to optimise forming conditions and obtain data abont potential cycle time effects, measurements of the densities, flexnral modnlns and wall thicknesses of the sheets and containers made from the sheets and cell stmcture analysis are presented and discussed.
