• Millad® clarifying agents represent a breakthrough in polypropylene (PP) clarification that allows further material substitution possibilities. Next-generation grades now make it possible to injection mold and blow mold PP parts with previously unattainable levels of clarity. In addition, these excellent optical properties can be achieved at lower than ever processing temperatures, delivering energy savings as well as productivity improvements via reduced cycle times.
• Hyperform® HPN for polyolefins is a family of high-speed nucleating agents used to optimize productivity, dimensional stability, and mechanical properties. Grades are available for use in polypropylene and in polyethylene.
• Hyperform® HPR synthetic fiber reinforcing agents for polypropylene increase mechanical properties while keeping part weight lower than is possible with mineral fillers. In addition they yield parts with excellent surface finish and weather ability, and they have a minimal effect on the color of the finished part.
• ClearTint® polymeric colorants, a line of high-performance colorants, have become the leading additive for providing a deep transparent color in a wide range of clear polypropylene applications.
