Milliken participates in Chinaplas 2017 with innovative additive solutions – UV absorber manufacturer

Milliken & Company will bring its innovative additive solutions to Chinaplas 2017, which will be held in Guangzhou, China from May 16th to 19th (Booth No. 10.2G01). As a company with a history of more than 150 years, in the face of unpredictable market development and competition, the secret of Milliken’s success lies in continuous innovation. As innovation in specialty chemicals becomes increasingly difficult, Milliken has never compromised on R&D investment and succumbed to homogeneous competition. With its strong R&D capabilities and unique business model, Milliken has continuously provided new impetus for the development of the rubber and plastics industry for many years. Its new polyolefin additive technology is also quietly improving the quality of life of the public.

Transparent agent Millad® NXTM 8000

As we all know, since polypropylene is generally opaque and milky white, PET and OPS were usually used for food packaging in the past. Millad NX 8000 transparency agent gives polypropylene better optical properties, making it comparable to high-transparency polymers such as PET and PS. Millad NX 8000 clarifier is of great value in sheet and thermoforming processes. Ultra-clear polypropylene sheets containing Millad NX 8000 can be widely used in fruit, meat products and fast food packaging fields, such as thermoformed food packaging boxes and Lid, clamshell packaging box, plastic tray, etc. Millad NX 8000 makes polypropylene packaging more transparent and beautiful, making it more attractive to consumers.

Millad NX8000 also has new applications in extrusion blow packaging of daily necessities and food. Combined with the research and development of polypropylene materials that have improved impact resistance in recent years, transparent polypropylene with a high-transparent appearance and high-impact resistance makes it more competitive in the field of fast-moving consumer goods packaging and can replace the high-density polypropylene that currently has high prices. vinyl HDPE and provides better product appearance. The application of Millad NX8000 for producing ultra-transparent polypropylene packaging is also becoming increasingly active. After being combined with new technologies such as in-mold labeling, polypropylene can replace traditional PET and PS in a variety of food packaging fields, providing better Water vapor barrier, impact resistance, etc. Various multi-layer co-extruded packaging products using Millad NX8000 anti-reflective ultra-transparent polypropylene are also emerging.

Nucleating agent Hyperform HPN

Hyperform HPN high-speed nucleating agent shortens the demoulding time of parts by increasing the crystallization temperature of polypropylene and polyethylene, thus increasing production efficiency by 10-20%. Milliken’s additive products can also effectively improve the performance of resins. For example, Hyperform HPN polypropylene nucleating agent can ensure the processing uniformity of parts, thereby achieving excellent dimensional stability, improving physical properties, and reducing warpage and shrinkage of parts. Hyperform HPN nucleating agent can also improve the moisture resistance and oxidation resistance of HDPE resin. Standard medicine bottles made using this technology can extend the shelf life of medicines.

UL certification

Compared with PET and PS, polypropylene has more sustainable development advantages. Due to the lower density of polypropylene, the energy consumption of producing polypropylene is lower than that of PET and PS, and the amount of waste generated by converting polypropylene is lower. Packaging made from pure polypropylene can be recycled and reused many times before having to be incinerated. When incinerated, polypropylene also produces more recoverable energy than other plastics. And Millad® NXTM 8000 lowers the processing temperature of polypropylene, reduces electricity consumption by 10% and improves production efficiency, which has significantly reduced the carbon emission level of the entire industry. This advantage has been certified by the independent environmental claims certification agency – UL Environment (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Underwriters Laboratories), becoming the first UL certified green plastic additive. It helps you improve efficiency while reducing your impact on the environment. It kills two birds with one stone.
