(Milliken) -- High-clarity
polypropylene dosage caps being launched this month at Interpack benefit from
the optic- and process-enhancing properties of Milliken’s next-generation
clarifying agent Millad NX 8000. Leading packaging producer Bormioli Rocco is
using a new PP random copolymer containing the class-leading additive to make
the caps, intended for pharmaceutical syrups.
Bormioli Rocco already has a very wide range of dosage caps, moulded in
polypropylene. It plans to shift production of much of that range to PP
containing Millad NX 8000 in the coming months. Bormioli Rocco will make the
caps in processing facilities at the headquarters of its plastics business unit
in Castelguelfo di Fontevivo, just outside Parma, Italy, as well as in
Rivanazzano, close to Milan in Italy, and in Saint Sulpice, near Toulouse in
France.
The company wanted to improve the transparency of its dosage caps to give
the final user the best view possible of the level of liquid inside. It has used
clarified PP in the past, but Millad NX 8000 takes it to the next level. In
fact, Bormioli Rocco says it has already received positive feedback from key
customers.
