Milliken Chemical, a business unit of the globally active Milliken & Company, focuses on optimising plastics through colour, environmental compatibility, transparency and increased performance. At K 2019, the company, based in Ghent, Belgium, will be demonstrating how its plastic additives and colourants can be used to strengthen the circular economy.<\/p>\n

For example, the Millad\u00ae NX\u00ae 8000 Clarifier, designed for polypropylene (PP) plastics and used for almost 80 per cent of the polypropylene processed worldwide, converts PP into a Weight-saving and crystal-clear alternative to glass<\/strong> and increases its efficiency. Material processing at lower temperatures results in shorter cycle times and saves energy.<\/p>\n

If you use NX\u00ae UltraClear\u2122 PP, the injection-moulded packaging can be finished with a UL environmental validation label ECV (Environmental Claim Validation)<\/strong> to emphasise the commitment to a circular economy and the Goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions<\/strong> to show.<\/p>

Additives, such as Hyperform\u00ae HPN\u2122 nucleating agents for PP and polyethylene, increase the performance of the polymers modified with them and are suitable for Increased performance of recycled polypropylene (rPP)<\/strong>. Compared to other nucleating agents, the new Hyperform HPN 175 presented at the trade fair offers a Higher heat resistance<\/strong>, which, among other things, enables the use of PP for heat-resistant containers.<\/p>\n

DeltaMax\u2122 performance modifiers increase the impact strength of rPP, blends and impact-resistant PP copolymers (IPC) and contribute to the circular economy. DeltaMax flow improvers can improve the Flowability of the plastic<\/strong> by up to five times without compromising impact strength or rigidity. Milliken's ClearShield\u2122 UV absorber protects PET-packaged food, beverages and consumer goods from harmful UV radiation.<\/p>\n

KeyPlast\u00ae colourants for plastics, suitable for many different polymer and plastic systems, can be used in liquid and solid masterbatches as well as in the production of plastics and compounds. They ensure stable and repeatable colours. ClearTint\u2122 colourants will also be presented at the trade fair.<\/p>\n
