Milliken & Company Showcases Innovations at Interpack 2026

Milliken & Company is gearing up to present a series of cutting-edge product innovations at Interpack 2026, taking place from May 7 to 13 in Düsseldorf, Germany. The company is set to demonstrate its advancements in polymer performance, highlighting the benefits of ultraclear packaging and lighter, recyclable structures aimed at reshaping everyday applications. This year’s presentation comes with a strong emphasis on efficiency, design flexibility, and enhanced material performance, catering especially to brand owners and converters.

Revolutionizing Packaging Solutions
The innovations being presented underscore a foundational shift in packaging technology. According to Wim Van De Velde, the Executive Vice President and General Manager of Milliken's plastics additives business, “The future of packaging relies on how effectively materials and processes can work together.” Milliken’s latest technologies promise to assist clients in boosting performance and enabling lighter, more recyclable packaging designs, a critical factor in today’s environmentally-conscious market.

Central to their showcase are some standout products:

• - Millad ClearX™ 9000: Designed for food packaging, home storage, and medical applications, this state-of-the-art clarifier for polypropylene (PP) boasts ultra-clear transparency with a reduced additive loading. Its formulation aims to enhance additive compatibility, resulting in decreased downtime and waste for resin producers and converters, ultimately leading to significant improvements in manufacturing efficiency.

• - LeneX™ UGN-52: This latest barrier enhancement technology optimizes performance for films and containers made of HDPE and LLDPE. By allowing designers to reduce material thickness and weight, this product not only enhances barrier properties but also aids the development of monomaterial products, streamlining recycling processes.

• - Hyperform® HPN®: Milliken's nucleating agents redefine PP performance by enhancing aesthetics and reducing cycle times while improving optical clarity and ensuring isotropic shrinkage. Perfect for thin-wall applications, these solutions work effectively with various types of PP, delivering superior product quality.

• - ClearShield™: This UV-absorbing technology for PET packaging helps protect contents from UV exposure while maintaining a crystal-clear appearance, ensuring that products are both visually appealing and safe from light damage.

Expert Insights and Real-World Solutions
In addition to product presentations, Milliken's experts will partake in sessions at the Spotlight Forum on May 11 and 12, illustrating practical examples of how their technology has enabled brands to achieve advanced packaging solutions.

Having harnessed material science for over six decades, Milliken has continually offered solutions that maximize efficiency while minimizing resource consumption. The company’s commitment to innovation remains steadfast as it pushes the envelope on sustainable packaging practices.
