At K 2025, Milliken & Company will showcase its latest advancements in polymer additives and colorants designed to enhance sustainability benefits, performance, and aesthetics in plastic products, in Dusseldorf, Germany from October 8-15.

The featured solutions include:

Millad Clarifying Agents: Impart crystal-clear transparency and enhanced sustainability benefits to injection-molded, blow-molded, and thermoformed polypropylene (PP). These clarifying agents boost clarity, enable faster production rates, and reduce energy use.

Millad clarifying agents for polypropylene.

Hyperform HPN Nucleating Agents: Improve optical performance, isotropic shrinkage, and regrind quality of sheets and thermoformed PP parts. These performance additives deliver an improved balance in properties between stiffness and impact resistance while reducing energy use. The latest nucleating agent, Hyperform(R) HPN(R) 58ei will be featured at the show, which is excellent for food and beverage packaging, meat packaging, microwaveable food packaging, and electronics packaging.

Hyperform HPN performance additives for polypropylene.

UltraGuard Barrier Improvement Solutions: Enhance the barrier performance of HDPE and LLDPE films, containers, and pouches by up to 70%. These solutions enable downgauging to reduce material usage and part weight while also improving barrier properties in polyethylene (PE), allowing designers to create more mono-material products, thus improving recycling compatibility.

UltraGuard solutions for polyethylene.

DeltaMax Performance Modifiers: Maximize the physical properties and processability of virgin and recycled PP. This product balances melt flow and impact strength, to increase overall performance for polypropylene. It also helps converters reduce energy by running machines with faster cycle times or lower temperatures.

DeltaMax performance modifiers for polypropylene impact copolymer.

RESIST Colorants: Designed for extreme temperature processing, these high-performance colorants for engineered polymers deliver excellent thermal stability, improved lightfastness, and UV weather resistance. Milliken RESIST XTR is a high chromatic orange explicitly designed to meet the extreme colorant performance required for demanding applications such as high-voltage battery connectors in electric vehicles (EVs).

RESIST colorants for plastics.

Milliken will also hold a series of Tech Talks featuring industry experts discussing the company’s latest innovations and sharing valuable insights. Topics include driving advancements in plastics performance and manufacturing capabilities in collaboration with industry partners, all while prioritizing sustainability.
