NuPET for nucleation and control of crystallization for PET
NuPET resins offer nucleation and control of crystallization in PET formulations. NuPET can be offered as a master batch used at low levels to accelerate crystallization in customer formulations. NuPET is also available as a fully formulated product for extruded and blown film products tailored for elevated crystallinity and improved heat seal strength. These rapidly crystallizing materials increase processing speeds and heat stability in a wide range of extrusion, blown film, injection molding, and thermoforming applications.
Typical Applications
- Structural Thermoformed Product
