Lubrizol, partnering with Trexel, Introduces New BounCell-X TPU Foam Technology
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
CLEVELAND, October 28, 2014 - Lubrizol Engineered Polymers, in partnership with
Trexel, Inc., is pleased to announce the development of a new high performance
TPU foam technology: BounCell-X(TM). The combination of Lubrizol's Estane(®) TPU
chemistry with the MuCell(®) physical foam injection molding technologies
created BounCell-X(TM) - a plasticizer-free, thermoplastic foam with low density
and superior performance.
Lubrizol offers one of the broadest portfolios of engineered polymers available
today, combining thermoplastic polyurethanes, co-polyesters and conductive
polymer technologies. Their products enhance the performance of a wide-range of
applications in the industrial, sports and recreation and electronics
industries. For more information, visit www.lubrizol.com/engineeredpolymers.
"With increasing demands for higher performance and improved sustainability,
designers, brands and processors are facing challenges that require unique and
innovative solutions," said Kenneth Kim, sports and recreation marketing manager
for Lubrizol. "Lubrizol offers a wide-range of engineered polymer solutions that
can be made into extremely soft products without plasticizers, to those that are
very hard or even composites that can replace metal. The specially developed
BounCell-X(TM) chemistry allows our customers to make a broad range of
thermoplastic foamed applications that have a unique cushioning profile".
BounCell-X(TM) Benefits Include:
* Light weight
* Outstanding long-term cushioning
* Thin solid skin for durable TPU performance
* Broad property range: hardness and energy absorption/return
* High efficiency injection molding process with over-molding feasibility
* Use of Industrial regrind/post-consumer recycling* possibility due to no
crosslinking or chemical blowing agents in foaming process
"We are very excited about the ongoing developments with our partnership with
Lubrizol. Combining their innovative polymer technologies with our innovative
manufacturing technologies and global support infrastructure creates exciting
application opportunities for our joint customers and prospects," said Steve
Braig, President & CEO of Trexel Inc.

About Trexel and the MuCell(®) Process
The MuCell(®) Microcellular Foam technology from Trexel Inc. is a complete
process and equipment technology that enables the production of high quality
plastic parts with significantly enhanced dimensional stability, lower
weight/material and reduced cycle time. MuCell(®) technology involves the
introduction of precisely metered quantities of atmospheric gases (nitrogen or
carbon dioxide) in the plasticizing unit of an injection molding machine to
create a microcellular material structure in the end product. The creation of
these microcellular structures brings a wide array of benefits including an
increased part quality along with reduced production costs.
Trexel, Inc. has led the development of the MuCell(®) Microcellular foaming
technology and has pioneered many plastic processing solutions. Process
deployment, as well as equipment, is supported by teams of highly qualified
engineers through Trexel subsidiaries in North America, Europe, and
Asia. www.trexel.com.
