Millad NX 8000 is an advanced clarifier for polypropylene (PP) that enables PP to be processed at significantly lower temperatures than standard clarified PP. The lower temperatures allow reductions in energy use, and corresponding carbon dioxide emissions. Millad NX 8000 also has superior clarifying performance, the company says, so the readily recyclable PP can replace less sustainable materials in packaging, household and food storage applications. PP containing this clarifying compound can also help molders and converters achieve faster cycle times, and therefore increase productivity. — Milliken and Co., Spartanburg, S.C.
