Help Sustainability Additives and Colorants come up with solutions like this!

Milliken Chemical will demonstrate at K 2019 how to improve the color, clarity and performance of plastics through a variety of material solutio.

Improve the permeability of plastics

Milliken's self-developed transparent agent for polypropylene resin, Millad NX 8000, is the key ingredient in nearly 80% of the world's transparent polypropyle.

In addition, brands using NX UltraClear™ PP, a polypropylene produced with Millad NX 8000 clarifier, can display the UL Environmental Claim Verification (ECV) label on their injection-molded packaging to demonstrate their commitment to a circular economy, Reduce greenhouse gas emissio.

Modified polypropylene with the addition of the transparent agent Millad NX 8000 becomes transparent and can replace other existing materials, allowing brands and plastics processors to produce more recyclable, single-material products such as bottles, containers, The labels and caps are all polypropyle.

Improve plastic performance

At K 2019, Milliken will introduce its latest grade of polypropylene nucleating agent, Hyperform HPN 715, which will provide new opportunities for polypropylene to replace more expensive engineering resins in demanding applicatio.

Compared to other advanced nucleating agents, Hyperform HPN 715 optimizes various key factors while also providing a higher heat distortion temperatu.

Meanwhile, Milliken's Deltamax modifiers help enable a circular economy by improving the impact strength and flow properties of recycled polypropylene resins (rPP), blends and polypropylene impact copolymers (IC.

Deltamax melt flow improvers increase melt flow by a factor of 5 while maintaining resin impact and stiffness properti.

Additionally, Milliken's ClearShield UV absorbers provide the ultimate in protection from UV rays for PET packaging materials such as food, beverage and consumer produc.

Reinforced plastic with color

Milliken's Keyplast Colorants for Plastics are multi-purpose products for liquid and solid masterbatch producers, resin producers and polymer producers for a wide variety of polymer and resin produc.

Keyplast colorants can be applied to transparent and food contact PET materials, as well as other transparent amorphous polymers such as polystyrene (PS), polycarbonate (PC), acrylic (PMMA) and polysulfone (PS.

Additionally, Milliken's ClearTint colorants will also be showcased at K 201
