Nucleators

Milliken offers a range of high-performance nucleating agents for PP. Designed to enhance aesthetics, provide fresher-looking parts, boost productivity, and provide confidence in food contact applications, our nucleating additives are used in various processes, including thermoforming, injection molding, and thin wall injection molding, to improve optical performance, isotropic shrinkage, regrind quality, and reduce haze.

DeltaMax®

Using DeltaMax® Performance Modifiers, you can maximize the physical properties and processability of polypropylene (PP) in both virgin and recycled content formats. DeltaMax® enables converters to enhance the impact and melt flow of PP resins, creating high-performance resin platforms that can transform market applications.

Viscosity Modifiers

Our viscosity modifiers improve the processing properties of both virgin and recycled PP by increasing the melt flow rate for extrusion and injection molding. A more consistent flow allows for precise dosing and dust-free handling at lower processing temperatures, reducing cycle times and boosting productivity.

Collaborative Problem Solving

Milliken, PureCycle, and Churchill came together to explore the viability of greater PCR content in stadium cups—and landed on a winning solution.

Suitable Inter-Material Replacement

Plastmore hoped to present a packaging solution for a client’s beloved chocolate boxes that would offer better sustainable benefits without losing the iconic visual of the box. By collaborating with Milliken, Plastmore replaced the original polystyrene (PS) box with clarified PP.

Qualified for UL ECV Label

Our clarifying and nucleating additives help your products achieve environmental claim validation from UL solutions, which allows you to display the UL Environmental Claim Validation (ECV) Mark on packaging. We can help you with the process.
