| FURTHER
INFORMATION |
Nucleating
agents provide large number of nucleating sites which results in formation
of many small size Spherulites increasing clarity by transmission
of more light. During injection moulding, cycle time can be reduced
by reducing cooling time. PP containing above nucleating agent is
recommended to be processed at a melt temperature of 230-240°C and
with maximum back pressure in the injection moulding machine.
Other advantages of nucleating agent.
-Stiffness improvement.
-Improvement in stress crack resistance. |
