Milliken is featuring the following polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) packaging technologies at PACK EXPO International:

• NX™ UltraClear™ Solutions for clarity in injection-molded, blow-molded and thermoformed PP packaging

• UltraGuard™ Solutions for improved barrier performance, downgauging and increased shelf life in PE

• UltraFit™ Solutions for the efficient production of various colored PP and PE parts with identical dimensions in the same mold

• UltraFast™ Solutions for reduced cycle time and higher productivity of PE and PP packaging

• UltraBalance™ Solutions to control isotropic shrinkage, reduce warpage and improve impact in PP and PE

• ClearTint™ colorants for PP and PE, which deliver bright, clean and glass-like transparent colors

• ClearShield™ UV absorber for PET, which protects fragrances, colors and other ingredients that are susceptible to degradation under high UV wavelengths

Among UltraGuard’s applications, products that require barrier protection, such as pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and nutritional drinks, can be packaged in thinner bottles.
