Milliken PP additive for thermoforming uses cleaner chemistry to deliver brighter look

Milliken PP additive for thermoforming uses cleaner chemistry to evangelize brighter await

Designed for utilize past thermoformers, Milliken & Company'south chemical partitioning'southward latest loftier-performance condiment for polypropylene (PP) homopolymers delivers an excellent balance of physical backdrop and superb aesthetics—all enabled through cleaner chemistry.

Hyperform HPN 909ei checks all those boxes, and more, every bit this formulation also addresses an important attribute for rubber reassurance in the Eu. Tailored specifically to minimize migration, specially in food-contact applications, this new form of Hyperform has i specific migration limit (SML) less than the previous generation product. A lower number of SMLs means there is one less substance that must be monitored and tested for, reducing customers' compliance brunt. With this simplification, the reassurance of safety is fifty-fifty stronger. This is vital, given that this type of PP homopolymer is typically used to thermoform drink cups and lids, nutrient packaging, and trays.

Traditional nucleating agents require customers to sacrifice impact to gain greater stiffness. Hyperform HPN 909ei, however, delivers improved stiffness (flexural modulus) while maintaining the impact performance. It too provides isotropic shrinkage (similar shrinkage in both directions, thereby reducing warpage) and a college heat deflection temperature, which offers improved heat resistance vital for hot-fill and microwaveable applications. It also helps to override the nucleation effects of pigments, thereby reducing design complexity.

Hyperform HPN 909ei achieves all this without sacrificing aesthetics. "In fact," notes Bhavesh Gandhi, global product line managing director for Milliken's chemical segmentation, "it yields products with splendid optical properties, including lower haze, reduced yellowing and an overall cleaner look. This tin can further enhance sustainability," he says, "by assuasive end-users to supercede other resins in diverse applications with highly recyclable polypropylene, with its depression overall carbon footprint."

With its growing range of Hyperform HPN high-performance additives, Milliken continues to help converters amend their processing and enhance the operation of their final PP parts.
