Speed™ NUC-138

1 of 1 products in this brand
Speed™ NUC-138 is liquid nucleating agents improve the physical properties of semi-crystalline polyolefins. This results in fast crystallization rates, which allows for improved cycle times and better production capacity along with quality. When our clarifying agent is added to polypropylene, the size of crystalline structures of the polymer reduces to improve the stiffness and clarity. Additionally, when added to the process, the rate of crystal initiation is increased dramatically so the crystals become smaller in size therefore clarifying the polypropylene. Our solutions will perform to meet the needs of a well-nucleated product by offering a combination of high crystalline temperature in the polymer with the most isotropic (uniform) shrinkage in your finished product.

    Process

    • Injection Molding

    Problem

    • Poor part quality with varying thickness and warpage at desired cycle time.

    Solution

    • Add +Speed™ NUC-138 to P/P which will improve isotropy, part quality, warpage, cycle time as well as override color influence on the crystallization temperature and shrinkage
