Milliken's New Performance Modifier Helps PP Impact Copolymer Manufacturer Improve Efficiency

At the earlier K 2019 show, Milliken introduced DeltaMax 5000a performance modifier, which effectively improves the processing efficiency and performance of polypropylene impact copolymers in durable goods and food packaging applicatio.

At the International Plastics and Rubber Exhibition 2019 (K 2019) earlier in Dusseldorf, Germany, Milliken & Company introduced the latest addition to its DeltaMax™ line of performance modifie.

Milliken debuted its DeltaMax™ product for extrusion at NPE 201 Existing technology allows injection molding companies to use more efficient manufacturing parameters to create stronger parts, and a wider selection of raw materia.

According to Emily Blair, global product line manager at Milliken, the new additive, called DeltaMax 5000a, is expected to drive innovation in polypropylene (PP) technology in resin producti.

Blair pointed out that for PP injection molded products, injection molders have been seeking a balance between high melt flow, excellent impact resistance and good stiffness for many yea.

Blair said that the DeltaMax performance modifier can not only improve melt flow, but also optimize impact resistance, marking the era of the three major performance trade-offs for polypropylene injection products manufacturers are ov.

DeltaMax-modified resins maximize resin impact strength and melt flow without compromising rigidity, allowing processors to more cost-effectively expand polypropylene applicatio.

In addition, DeltaMax technology can improve the properties of recycled resins after consumer and industrial use, increasing their impact resistance and melt flow to similar levels to virgin resi.

The new performance modifier product is expected to receive FDA approval by the end of the year, and Milliken plans to expand its application into food packaging, bringing additional benefits to caps and thin-wall packagi.

For a long time, the injection molding industry has been committed to improving the low temperature impact resistance of PP in these are.

The DeltaMax 5000a modifier will be available for sale within the year and to the global market next ye.

Blair said that both compounders, as well as injection molders and recyclers, inherently benefit from the performance benefits that DeltaMax additives bri.

"The end result is that producers, processors, brand owners and contract processors can meet consumer demand for more durable, creative and environmentally friendly plastic products, while improving product sustainability and reducing cos.

“The DeltaMax range is becoming a major driver of innovation in the plastics industry in many parts of the world, including Euro.
