    METABLEN™ A 3000 is an acrylic-modified polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) used in vacuum molding, foam molding, blow molding and profiling. It improves the melt tension that is required in these processing methods by minimizing increases in melt viscosity, without sacrificing the inherent properties of thermoplastics.BenefitsIncreases melt tension of a resinMaintains fluidityEnhances die swellImproves the flexural modulus, heat deformation temperature, and other properties of polypropyleneAnti-drip effect with flame-retardant resinsImproves filler dispersibilityBetter surface appearanceIncreases foam expansion ratioApplicationsAutomotiveConsumer goodsElectric and electronics*METABLEN™ is provided by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, a member of the Mitsubishi Chemical Group.

    • Functions:Nucleating Agent

    • Carrier:Resin-based, Polypropylenes (PP)
    When the MPM® 2000 is added to polypropylene at levels ranging from 0.25% – 2.0%, it can produce high levels of beta crystallinity in molded or extruded parts. The high beta crystal content results in dramatically higher impact strength and ductility, with very little reduction in modulus or tensile strength. If the final fabricated article is produced by post-orientation of an extruded sheet at temperatures below the melting point of the beta crystal phase, then microvoids will develop, and the density of the article will go down, and its opacity will go up. In the case of oriented films it is possible to lower the final film density by 15% when uniaxial stretching is done (MOPP), and by up to 70% when biaxial stretching (BOPP) is done. In the BOPP process it is possible to make breathable films when high levels of porosity are achieved. When the thermoforming process is used, the processing window of polypropylene is broadened dramatically, and cycle rates can be increased by 25%. Material distribution in the final part is also improved leading to potential down-weighting of thermoformed food containers by 15%. Beta nucleation can also be used to increase the tensile strength of biaxially oriented geogrids allowing for down-weighting of 15-20%. MPM 2000 can be used effectively in polypropylene resins that are already alpha-nucleated with either sodium benzoate or talc, and MPM 2000 may also work in the presence of other alpha nucleants, such as certain pigments. MPM 2000 is colorless, and has broad food contact approvals.
