The New Standard In Clear Polypropylene

Cost efficient, balanced properties combined with outstanding optical performance.

Clarifier Summary

“Ultimate Clarity”, i.e. the best opticals, “breakthrough” clarity combined with cycle time reduction
Millad NX 8000 “UC” and improved processing window with NX 8000 at “standard” (~3000-4000 ppm) loading.

“Enhanced Quality”, i.e. the reduced yellowness, higher Tc, improved productivity and energy savings
Millad NX 8000 “EQ” possible with NX 8000 at “standard” (~2000 ppm) loading. Grades with higher levels of NX 8000
demonstrate even more dramatic optical improvement.

Haze Data 50 mil plaques (1.25 mm), 12-35 mfr RCP at listed loadings and standard additive package.

Pellet color measured in a 50 mm reflective cell with a white background attached to a

Pellet Color (YI) spectrophotomer in accordance with ASTM E313.

Improved plate-out performance has been demonstrated in EBM or TF, due to increased solubility of
Plate Out NX 8000 and higher “affinity” for PP.

Trials have demonstrated that NX 8000 displays consistent optical performance with broad variation
Processing Window in extrusion and processing temperatures and speeds.

Trials have demonstrated the potential for NX 8000 to deliver reduced cooling and cycle time from
Cycle Time lower molding temperatures and higher Tc.

Trials have demonstrated the potential for NX 8000 to deliver improved productivity and energy
Productivity savings from reduced processing temperatures.
