Addcomp ADD-VANCE® NU 559 Nucleation masterbatch, PP based

Fields of application: Extruded and injection molded articles made from PP and PE resins.Examples: Extruded sheets, films, tapes and blow molded, compression molded and injection molded articles, such as automotive parts, appliances and closures.Mode of action and advantages: ADD-VANCE® NU 559 contains a very effective nucleating agent that outperforms traditional nucleation agents like talc and benzoate salts. Nucleating agents increase the crystallization rate of and the number of spherulites in the polymer. A faster crystallization rate allows for higher productivity in molding and extrusion processes. An increased number of spherulites in the polymer improves the stiffness and heat deflection temperatureAdvantages: The product combines unique shrink characteristics, physical properties balance and crystallization effects to improve performance in manufacturing speed, product performance and part specification compliance; Improved clarity in LLDPE and PP film; Improved product isotropy provides low warpage; Better stiffness/impact balance; High Vicat T and low CLTE; No taste or odor; Non-sticking pellets, dust free dosing; and Safe and easy handling.Regulations: ADD-VANCE® NU 559 is suitable for food contact applications.Information provided by ADDCOMP
