NC 00602 PP (NC0602PP)

NC 0602 PP is a nucleating concentrate masterbatch containing an organic nucleating agent. NC 0602 PP is especially suitable for applications requiring high clarity, stiffness and food contact compatibility. As a nucleating agent, NC 0602 PP promotes the formation of small crystallites during the cooling of polymer melts, preventing large spherulites. This results in enhanced transparency, surface smoothness and gloss along with improved stiffness, hardness and heat resistance at higher temperatures. NC 0602 PP allows higher processing temperatures and greater productivity without plate out issues. The optimum parameters must be determined through testing based on the production line configuration and polymer grade used. Benefits for advanced material applications include replacement of other polymers where NC 0602 PP provides improved optical and mechanical properties at lower costs.
