PP Nucleation

High performance nucleating agents help PP processors avoid the traditional drawbacks observed with standard PP nucleation solutions, such as shrinkage and dimensional control. PP nucleating agents improves the physical properties of polypropylene to deliver improved part quality and higher Productivity.
