BYK-MAX NU 4230 LDPE

BYK-MAX NU 4230 LDPE by BYK is a granulated, nucleation agent based on LDPE 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. It increases crystallization during cooling, thereby accelerating cooling and at the same time encouraging a consistently crystalline structure. This additive facilitates high throughput by improving isotropy, which enables the production cycles in processing plants to be reduced. It prevents defects when making molds and increases the dimensional stability, rigidity, and thermal stability, especially when compared with pigmented or other nucleated systems. BYK-MAX NU 4230 LDPE improves the production performance in injection molding processes by more than 10%. The product minimizes neck roundness errors in blow-molded bottles, thereby making it possible to reduce cycle times. It also increases the processing reliability when using recycled materials. It reduces the solidification limit (frost line) in blown film extrusion, which can improve productivity. The permeability to gases (oxygen up to 30%, water vapor, solvent vapors) of films and blow-molded bottles is reduced, providing the option to improve quality or reduce material thickness. The recommended level is 1-3% additive (as supplied) based upon the total formulation. It can be added via volumetric or gravimetric dosing units during processing in all extruders and injection molding plants. Recommended for injection-molded & blow-molded products and films. The shelf life of this product is 12 months.
