CRYSTALADD Nucleating Masterbatches
Nucleation technology has been used with polymers such as polypropylene and nylon for many years, and it is an effective aid in helping the polymers to crystallize faster and more consistently and to improve physical or mechanical properties.
CRYSTALADD Processing Guide
CRYSTALADD® Nucleating Masterbatch resins are designed to be added to Polyethylene molding and extrusion processes by direct addition to the machine or by pre-blending with the PE resin or other masterbatch additives (i.e. colorants, slip, anti-block etc.) before processing.
General Polymer Processing Guide
Polymer families tend to have a wide range of processing conditions so supplier specific information and grade specific information should be used whenever possible.
