Performance benefit
Warpage in polyolefin parts is complex to control and is caused by many factors such as part design, shrinkage behaviors and processing conditions.
A common method employed to reduce warpage is to slow down the production cycle and allow the material a longer time to cool. The use of hyper nucleating agents can help better control the crystallization and shrinkage of PP and PE and lead to better dimensional stability of their molded and extruded products.
Processing benefit
Injection
Injection molded polyolefin products are highly susceptible to quality defects and cycle time penalties due to shrinkage and crystallization speeds/behaviors.
By adding hyper nucleating agents into polypropylene-based resins, crystallization and isotropic shrinkage are optimized. Warpage can be improved and cycle times (via cooling time) can be optimized.
Film Extrusion
Films produced with PE and PP (CPP) resin containing hyper nucleating agents offer enhanced physical properties, greater clarity and opportunities for downgauging (without loss in barrier properties).
