NUCLEATING AGENT

Increase mechanical and optical properties for polyolefin.

Crystal clear and strong

 

A higher degree of crystallization within a polymer matrix exhibits stronger mechanical properties. Not just that, our solutions also offer the option to clarify as well, for both polyethylene and polypropylene.

Reduce cycle time

A higher degree of crystallinity naturally raises the crystallization temperature and HDT. It allows a part to solidify at a higher temperature and thus, be removed from the mold sooner.

Enhanced moisture barrier

This is the case for polyethylene (PE). Crystalline PE blocks out moisture and oxygen which is vital in the packaging industry for prolonged storage.

Enhanced mechanical properties

Crystals within polymer are well-aligned polymer chains which as a result, give better strength than amorphous polymer.
