Milliken presents Ultra Clear PP as the inspiring alternative to other glass clear packaging materials at Interpack 2014
4/5/2014
- Sustainability meets clarity and aesthetics in ultra-clear, lightest weight and cost-efficient solutions based on Milliken's UL-certified clarifier for PP (polypropylene)
- Easy empty, hot fill and light weight application features in the spotlight
- Booth # Hall 10 C32, Düsseldorf, May 8-14, 2014
Ghent, Belgium - Leading polyolefins additives supplier, Milliken, will demonstrate why Ultra Clear PP offers the optimal cost-effective solution to the packaging trend for resource efficiency and attention-grabbing appeal at Interpack 2014 from May 8 - 14 in Düsseldorf (Booth # Hall 10 C32).
A host of commercial packaging examples based on PP clarified with Milliken's Millad® NX™ 8000 series will bring to life the exceptional clarity, aesthetics and lowest weight potential achievable for thermoforming, foldable packaging, and injection molded and blow molded applications. Converters, specifiers and designers visiting Interpack will have access to proven statistics regarding the material's productivity improvements, energy savings, low carbon footprint and cost-efficiency compared to alternative plastics.
Ultra Clear PP sets a new clarity standard for PP comparable to glass clear materials and offers specific benefits for different processes. In the spotlight at Miliken's Interpack 2014 Booth:
Thermoforming & Foldable Packaging: Clarity, aesthetics and sustainability come to the fore with this lightweight, cost-effective solution. Millad NX 8000 gives PP a clarity boost that overcomes the traditional undesirable milky appearance of PP in thermoforming, creating highly-attractive transparency similar to PET for sheet and thermoformed applications such as cups, trays, clamshells and containers.
Ultra Clear PP also offers important performance benefits such as easy peel and seal, chemical resistance and impact resistance. At-booth samples will demonstrate its ability to offer a 17.8% weight saving compared to PET based food trays, with possibilities to produce 70 trays from 1kg of PP compared with 57 trays from 1kg of PET. The material's excellent heat resistance further extends application opportunities by enabling microwaveability and hot fill capability.
Injection Molding: Converters can experience productivity improvements and energy savings when using Millad NX 8000 clarified PP to produce injection molded applications, such as thin wall packaging containers. Use of the additive allows conversion temperatures to be lowered, particularly in injection molding. This leads to less energy use and accompanying CO₂ emission reductions. Numerous industrial test data indicate that use of Millad NX 8000 can lower required processing temperatures from 235oC to 190oC, resulting in cycle time reductions of up to 10%, energy savings between 8 and 12 %, and associated CO₂ emissions reductions.
The energy saving advantages of Millad NX 8000 have already been validated by the independent organisation UL Environment. This qualifies Milliken and its customers, from converters to brand owners, to use an Environmental Claim Validation (ECV) label to highlight the energy consumption reductions achieved with the use of Millad NX 8000 in a transparent PP product*.
Extrusion Blow Molding: Millad NX 8500E clarified PP enables the straightforward production of lightweight bottles with integrated handles and complex, eye-catching designs. They are also easier and faster to empty than other solutions. Millad NX 8500E clarified PP offers the lowest density and lower weight compared to all alternative extrusion blow molding (EBM) plastics materials and glass, and provides a one-material solution cost-efficiency. For example, for clear handleware bottles, PP based on Millad NX 8500E has a density of 0.9 g/cc compared to PET with 1.35 g/cc, and the same clarity level. Hands-on experience of the easy empty, product waste-reducing advantages of Ultra Clear PP bottles compared to PET will be possible at the Booth. The featured commercialized shampoo bottle is proven to be significantly faster to empty with less product leftover than the corresponding PET-based version.
"With its low density, efficiency and performance advantages Ultra Clear PP provides exciting opportunities for the global packaging industry to substitute more expensive, less functional and less sustainable materials," comments Sami T.K. Palanasami, Milliken's Marketing & Sales Manager Plastic Additives.
The discovery of shale gas in the USA in large quantities and the resulting shift from heavy 憂aptha based' feedstock cracking into more light feed steam cracking will result in less availability of aromatics as raw material and relative abundance of ethane and propane.
Milliken expects that this, in combination with the building of the on purpose PDH units and the low density of polypropylene, will put polypropylene in a very competitive position versus PET and PS. Consequently Milliken foresees that brand owners will increasingly start to consider ultra clear PP versus PET and PS for food packaging and food service, and this will create a paradigm shift in the industry with polypropylene becoming progressively the material of choice.

The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner." AND ENTERS UPON HIS PARENTAL RELATIONS TO LITTLE PETE SKIDMORE. "Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
