Global microcellular plastics market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 7.1% during the forecast period (2024-2031). A major factor supporting the growth of the market is the advances in manufacturing equipment are driving efficiency and precision in microcellular plastics. Microcellular plastics manufacturing is the development of new equipment and technologies that enable more efficient and precise production of these materials in the microcellular plastics market. For example, some manufacturers are using specialized injection molding machines that can produce microcellular plastics with smaller and more uniform cell sizes. Traditional injection molding machines rely on high pressure to force molten plastic into a mold. However, specialized injection molding machines for microcellular plastics use a process called gas-assisted injection molding (GAIM) to create small, uniform cells within the plastic. In this process, a small amount of gas, typically nitrogen or carbon dioxide, is injected into the plastic during the molding process. The gas diffuses into the plastic and causes it to expand, creating small, uniform cells within the material.

The key advantage of using specialized injection molding machines for microcellular plastics is that they can produce materials with smaller and more uniform cell sizes than traditional injection molding machines. This can result in materials with improved mechanical properties, such as higher strength and stiffness, and reduced weight. Additionally, the process can be used with a wide range of thermoplastics, including polypropylene, polycarbonate, and ABS.
For example, a specialized injection molding machine for microcellular plastics is the MuCell process, developed by Trexel Inc. This process uses a combination of gas injection and fluid dynamics to create a uniform distribution of cells within the material in the microcellular plastics market. The MuCell process can be used to produce microcellular plastics with cell sizes as small as 10 microns, which can offer significant improvements in mechanical properties and other characteristics in the microcellular plastics market. The development of specialized injection molding machines for microcellular plastics is enabling more efficient and precise production of these materials, and offering new opportunities for applications in a range of microcellular plastics industries.
