Sustainable Converting
address the key challenges confronting today’s plastics processing industry, including how they can enhance both production and sustainability. Milliken offers clarifiers and nucleators to improve polypropylene (PP) resins, UV absorbers that improve key properties in PET packaging, and colorants for use with high- performance engineering polymers. Milliken’s Millad NX 8000 is the clarifying agent used to produce UltraClear PP resin, which then can be processed to yield clarity and transparency in injection molded, blow molded and thermoformed polypropylene products. It also enables low-temperature processing in injection molding when compared to PP clarified with traditional clarifiers, which in turn yields both faster cycle times and energy savings. Hyperform HPN nucleating agents
provide an excellent balance of physical properties, and help to improve end- product performance, while delivering faster, trouble-free production. These additives also override the nucleating effect
Additives to improve plastics processing and sustainability S

of pigments. This means that molders can achieve high part quality regardless of the color used. Milliken’s ClearShield UV absorber can
improve key properties in PET packaging. It effectively protects UV-sensitive packed contents from ultraviolet-light degradation while maintaining the clarity and transparency of PET. Makers of home and personal care products increasingly are
using more natural ingredients, and they’re embracing memorable colors, active ingredients and special additives. But UV light can negatively impact some of these new ingredients, and current UV filters come with their own challenges. The crystal-clear ClearShield additive is compounded directly into the PET resin, which eliminates the need to add UV additives to the formulations of the packaged contents themselves. Finally, Milliken’s Keyplast range of dyes
and pigments for plastics can be used by liquid and solid masterbatch producers and compounders. These colorants yield a vast spectrum of stable, reproducible colors, and are suitable for use with a wide range of resins — from PET in transparent food- contact applications, and polystyrene in most general-purpose, medium and high- impact grades; to polycarbonate offering excellent clarity and compatibility with high processing temperatures, and nylon in most compounds of nylon 6, nylon 6,6, glass-filled compounds, and other polyamide resins.
