Recently, Milliken, a world-renowned manufacturer of polyolefin additives, participated in the Chinaplas 2022 online exhibition, and comprehensively displayed a variety of low-carbon and energy-saving innovative product solutions and application cases
.
This exhibition is the first time to use the online method to create an annual event in the rubber and plastics industry in the form of "cloud booth"
.
Milliken vividly presents innovative technologies, cases and solutions to customers and the entire upstream and downstream enterprises through graphic introductions, product manuals, videos and other diversified methods
.

In this online exhibition, Milliken displayed a variety of polypropylene high-performance additives, including Millad® NX® 8000 clearing agent, MaxImpact low temperature impact resistance additive, DeltaMax® polypropylene performance modifiers and Hyperform® HPN® performance additives
.
At the same time, Milliken specially introduced the cooperation case of jointly developing high-efficiency polypropylene products with upstream and downstream enterprises
.

Millad® NX® 8000 Polypropylene Clarifier

In the past two years, due to the home closure and control caused by the epidemic, people tend to store food in large packages, which has triggered the consumer demand for large-packaged products, and prompted the food industry merchants to choose high-transparency, sturdy and durable large-scale products.
Size packaging
.
Faced with this market trend, Milliken's online exhibition focused on the launch of the fourth-generation Millad® NX® 8000 polypropylene clearing agent, which can bring high transparency similar to glass products to polypropylene and improve product aesthetics
.
In food packaging, the addition of Milliken's Millad® NX® 8000 nut barrels not only improves aesthetics, but also better presents the consumer with the richness of the product in a larger package
.

Millad® NX® 8000 can effectively shorten the molding cycle, lower the injection molding temperature and save 10% of energy consumption during the injection molding process
.
With its excellent advantages such as energy saving, high efficiency and balance of rigidity and toughness, this product can be applied to the packaging of various daily necessities and food fields, creating higher value for the food, packaging, medical and other market segments
.
It is worth mentioning that Milliken Millad® NX® 8000 has been certified by the American APR Plastics Recycling Association Critical Guidance, and a single material is more conducive to subsequent recycling
.

MaxImpact Low Temperature Impact Additives

With people's increasing emphasis on health and the vigorous development of national fitness, consumers' demand for sports-related products is also increasing
.
Although the current epidemic still affects people's lives and work, the public's enthusiasm for sports is still undiminished
.
As an indispensable companion in fitness sports, plastic sports water bottles have the advantages of portability and lightness, and become a necessary daily necessities for sports.
However, such plastic sports water bottles usually have low appearance clarity, low temperature or high temperature.
In addition, there will also be problems such as drop deformation or cracking, poor sealing and so on
.

Faced with these pain points of consumers, Milliken has launched MaxImpact low-temperature impact resistance additives, which can effectively improve the performance of polypropylene products such as kettles
.
Milliken MaxImpact is added to the PP material of a well-known brand water bottle.
The addition of this material greatly improves the transparency of the water bottle and enables the liquid in the cup to be clearly seen
.
Moreover, MaxImpact has also improved the temperature resistance of PP materials, which can withstand temperature changes from minus 20°C to 100°C, fully adapting to the use environment of heating or refrigeration
.
In addition, Milliken MaxImpact can also improve the drop resistance and impact resistance of the kettle, effectively avoiding the risk of damage when the product is dropped
.

DeltaMax® Polypropylene Performance Modifiers

People often need to check luggage or carry luggage on and off the plane during business trips and travel.
If it is a long-distance trip or multiple transfers, it is easy to cause a lot of bumps and impacts during use of the luggage
.
Travelers have higher and higher requirements for the stamping resistance and impact resistance of luggage
.

Faced with this change in consumer demand, Milliken has introduced DeltaMax a200 polypropylene performance modifier, which can help polypropylene copolymers (BCPs) improve product performance
.
The internationally renowned luggage brand has greatly improved the rigidity balance and impact resistance of the luggage after using the polypropylene resin added with DeltaMax a200
.
In addition, in the entire production process, the use of DeltaMax helps reduce the complexity of raw material procurement, making the production of luggage more convenient and efficient
.

Hyperform® HPN® Performance Additives

With the continuous improvement of people's living standards and the continuous pursuit of exquisite life, food companies not only need to introduce delicious food, but also innovate in food packaging and appearance in order to gain the favor of consumers.
Higher performance requirements, how to ensure the integrity of the food in the packaging during transportation, and how to improve the appearance of the packaging have become hot issues in the food industry
.

In response to the needs of this industry, Milliken has introduced Hyperform® HPN® 900ei Plus, a high-performance additive designed for homopolypropylene and small random polypropylene for thin-wall injection molding applications
.
Polypropylene added with this high-performance additive can produce products with low haze, good optical properties, and balanced rigidity and toughness, becoming an indispensable additive in the production process of food packaging
.

In addition, Hyperform® HPN® high-performance additives are also widely used in home appliances, automobiles, material handling equipment and other fields
.
Hyperform® HPN® 100 is the latest in this line of products, designed for injection molding processors, as a high-performance additive for copolymerized polypropylene (PP), offering higher productivity and better heat resistance
.
The use of this high-performance additive can effectively increase the crystallization temperature of polypropylene resin, shorten the production cycle, improve processing efficiency, and achieve energy saving and efficiency enhancement
.

Milliken has been developing innovative polypropylene additive products and solutions to meet customer needs through innovation and forward-looking thinking, and actively working with upstream and downstream partners to jointly promote the accelerated development of the entire polyolefin industry chain and shape sustainable The future of the industry
.
In the online exhibition, in addition to introducing innovative polypropylene additive solutions and applications, Milliken also comprehensively displayed cooperation cases with upstream and downstream enterprises in the industry chain
.

Under the guidance of the "dual carbon" goal proposed by the Chinese government, energy conservation and emission reduction have become an important development direction of the polypropylene industry
.
This year, Milliken and Maoming Petrochemical further cooperated to develop high-end transparent polypropylene series products.
In the product development of MT25-S and MT16, Milliken Millad® NX® 8000 technology was used to achieve excellent rigidity-toughness balance performance and Good transparency, and effectively shorten the molding cycle during processing, reduce processing temperature, and reduce energy consumption
.
Therefore, Maoming Petrochemical's transparent polypropylene series high-end products have been authorized to use the UL Environmental Declaration Verification (ECV) mark
.
In addition, Milliken also cooperated with Huajin Petrochemical to develop RC20M and RP344SH-K polypropylene transparent materials, which further enhanced the competitiveness of Huajin Petrochemical products in the domestic market
.

"We are very pleased to be able to participate in this online exhibition
.
With the continuous development and improvement of China's polyolefin market, Milliken hopes to further provide Chinese customers with customized and innovative solutions through professional market analysis and customer demand insight.
To meet the needs of different markets for high-quality polypropylene products
