BYK-MAX NU 4232

BYK-MAX NU 4232 by BYK is a granulated, VOC-free, nucleation agent to increase the crystallization speed and amount of sperulithes in the polymer. It contains a powerful nucleation agent with a very high level of dispersion, offering the optimum balance between increased production speed and improved physical properties. The nucleation agent increases crystallization during cooling, thereby accelerating cooling and at the same time encouraging a consistently crystalline structure. It facilitates high throughput by improving isotropy, which enables the production cycles in processing plants to be reduced. It prevents defects during molding and increases dimensional stability, rigidity, and thermal stability, especially when compared with pigmented or other nucleated systems. The processed material cools up to 25% more quickly, which offers a cost-saving potential through increased machine capacity. It also helps achieve a lower extrusion temperature as a result of a more regular polymer flow. The recommended level is 1-3% additive (as supplied) based upon the total formulation. It can be processed in injection molding, thermoforming, and extrusion blow molding processes. BYK-MAX NU 4232 is recommended for automotive parts, interior vehicle trims, boxes, housing, packaging, tanks, bottles, household products, caps and closures. The shelf life of this product is 12 months.
