A Glance at the Core Innovative Products of This Exhibition

Millad ClearX™ 9000 Polypropylene Clarifier This new generation of polypropylene transparent modification technology can endow materials with ultra-high transparency while reducing the amount of additives. This product enhances the compatibility of additives, effectively helping resin manufacturers and processors reduce equipment downtime, decrease material loss, and accelerate production changeovers, thereby significantly improving manufacturing efficiency. The product is suitable for applications in food packaging, home storage, medical supplies, and other fields, setting new industry standards for value, appearance, and operational efficiency in transparent polypropylene applications.

Hyperform® HPN® nucleating agent Milliken's nucleating agent comprehensively enhances polypropylene performance, delivering a more refined aesthetic appearance, faster molding cycles, and food contact safety compliance. It also optimizes optical transparency, reduces haze, and ensures isotropic shrinkage. This solution is suitable for injection molding and thin-walled applications, and is widely applicable to homopolymers, impact copolymers, and block copolymers of polypropylene.

LeneX™ UGN-52 Barrier Performance Enhancer As Milliken's latest breakthrough in barrier technology, this product significantly enhances the performance of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) films, containers, flexible packaging bags, and pharmaceutical bottles. This technology enables companies to achieve material downgauging, reduce raw material consumption, lower product weight, and simultaneously improve the barrier properties of polyethylene materials. It also empowers designers to create more mono-material articles, thus enhancing product recyclability.

DeltaMax® Performance ModifierThis modifier comprehensively enhances the physical and processing properties of virgin and recycled polypropylene, achieving a balanced optimization of melt flow performance and impact strength, thereby fully improving the overall performance of polypropylene. At the same time, this product can help processing enterprises reduce production energy consumption by accelerating molding cycles and lowering processing temperatures.

KeyPlast® Special Dyes : Confers high transparency and high brightness to various polymer systems, suitable for materials including polyethylene terephthalate, polystyrene, polycarbonate, polylactic acid, and acrylic resins.

RESIST XTR™ High-Performance ColorantsMilliken's RESIST™ XTR colorant portfolio expands with a new range of high-saturation orange products, designed to meet the extreme performance requirements of colorants in demanding applications such as high-voltage battery connectors for electric vehicles. Specifically developed for high-temperature processing environments, this range of high-performance colorants for engineering plastics offers excellent thermal stability, light fastness, and UV aging resistance.

EXPLAZ™ Laser Marking Additive This additive optimizes laser marking performance in polyamide materials. It is naturally white and, when used in polyamides, enables high-quality marking on white or highly vibrant polyamide compounds with minimal impact on the substrate's appearance. Excellent marking performance can be achieved with a minimum addition level of only 0.2% (mass fraction), while also optimizing processing and preserving the aesthetic appearance of the finished product.

From ClearShield™ UV absorbers to ClearTint™ polymeric colorants, Milliken's chemical products create value across various industries. During Plastindia 2026, Milliken's professional team will be present to provide in-depth technical consultations, discussing how these innovative technologies can be adapted and applied to production processes, achieving dual upgrades in both manufacturing and end products. We sincerely invite exhibition attendees to pre-book a consultation slot with Milliken's technical experts to customize personalized solutions for their company's specific industry needs.
