...increase the crystallization rate of PP, nylon, and PET, allowing for increased productivity and improved physical properties. Milliken Chemical, Spartanburg/South Carolina, will highlight its Hyperform HI5-5, the new concentrated form of its Hyperform high-speed nucleating agent for PP (Fig. 7). Polymer Modifiers Crompton Corp. will feature its extensive line of Blendex polymer modifiers, acquired from GE Specialty Chemicals last year, which include process aids, gloss reducers, impact modifie...

...ene clarifiers already years ago with its Millad Series. With the new Millad NX8000, the nucleation efficiency in PP has been increased once again. In addition, the product has good thermal properties. The announcement that the new product Hyperform HPN-20E promotes nucleation of polyethylene (PE) garnered attention. Whether the often-observed warpage of PE in injection molding applications will thus be relegated to the past will be awaited with anticipation. For coloring in pharmaceutical PP ap...

...em suitable for food contact applications. Compliant with the U.S. Pharmacopeia, ClearTint variants limit the absorption of UV radiation, thereby permanently protecting the contents of the bottles and the transparency of the container. Hyperform-nucleating agents offer new scope for solving critical problems that occur during the injection molding of PE and PP. They make for shorter cycle times and eliminate warpage in the production of large molded parts. The hyperformnucleating agents prevent ...

... of additives Milliken will show how producers can step up the efficiencies of their processing stages, and achieve higher performances of their final products, by employing Millad Clarifier and Hyperform HPN nucleation agents. These optimized additives are applied with the most diverse technologies to process various polypropylene and polyethylene types. Details of the benefits involved in these products are due to show in detail at the Milliken booth, for the application in thin-wall injection...

...PP). Using this material the processor can produce crystal clear, inexpensive packagings with a low density and improved CO2 balance (Fig. 1). To replace PP compounds in automotive applications, the synthetic reinforcing additive called Hyperform HPR-801i is presented (Fig. 2). This material enables lower filling degrees, thus reducing the weights of components by up to 15 %, with characteristic properties unchanged. These compounds for injection molding applications can replace talc filled PP c...

...o of the above mentioned approaches. This allows part weight to be reduced by more than 23 % at low costs and with good mechanical properties. These advantages accrue from the partial replacement of the talc content in PP compounds with Milliken’s Hyperform HPR-803i reinforcing fibers (Fig. 1) and from the additional use of Clariant’s blowing agent Hydrocerol masterbatch to expansion-mold the part by the core-back process.Reinforced FoamingHydrocerol masterbatches are endothermic blowing agents ...

...mponent by structural analysis and tailor the design to the particular load case. For the first time, a new simplified finite element-based simulation tool was used, which was developed by Lanxess for this purpose and utilizes the Abaqus and Hyperform programs. Although it does not map the complete shaping process, including, for example, handling the hot inserts, the simulation is perfectly adequate for testing how different laminates behave mechanically after shaping. Complete and very laborio...
