(China Plastic & Rubber Journal) -- To highlight the theme "sustainability", Chemical company Milliken presented at K2010 additive innovation by the example of latest Millad clarifying agents for polypropylene.
Milliken is already known as the world's leading supplier of clarifiers that enable polypropylene, one of the most sustainable plastics on the market, to compete for applications demanding excellent optics but normally requiring more costly materials. Now, its new Millad NX8000 series not only sets a new benchmark for clarification, but also enables processors to make substantial improvements in their economics through reduced processing temperatures and shorter cycles.
Numerous trials carried out by Milliken have proven that the additive can regularly yield cycle time reductions of as much as 15%, while the ability to process at lower temperatures can often cut energy consumption by 15-20% - and in some extreme cases by over 30%.
At K 2010, Milliken is exhibiting a wide range of packaging and durable storage applications in clear polypropylene containing Millad NX8000 clarifying agent.
