Highlighted Innovations at Interpack 2026
- - Millad ClearX™ 9000: This new-generation clarifier for polypropylene is ideal for food packaging, home storage, and medical applications. It provides ultra-clear transparency with reduced additive loading, improving additive compatibility and ultimately leading to decreased downtime, less waste, and faster changeovers for resin producers and converters.
- - LeneX™ UGN-52: This recent barrier enhancement technology improves the performance of films, containers, and pharmaceutical bottles in high-density and low-density polyethylene. The solution reduces material usage and part weight while enhancing the barrier properties of polyethylene, facilitating the creation of more mono-material products and aiding recycling compatibility.
- - Hyperform® HPN®: Milliken's nucleating agents revolutionize polyethylene performance, delivering sharper aesthetics and shorter cycle times while improving optical clarity, reducing haze, and ensuring isotropic shrinkage. These agents are well-suited for injection molding and thin-wall applications, compatible with homopolymers, impact copolymers, and random copolymers of polypropylene.
- - ClearShield™: An innovative UV absorption technology specifically tailored for PET packaging applications, ClearShield helps protect packaged contents from UV exposure while maintaining a crystal-clear appearance.
From clarifiers to colorants and beyond, Milliken's range of additives is meticulously crafted to tackle today's packaging challenges. Visitors can explore these advancements at Booth C18 in Hall 10 during Interpack 2026 or online at interpack2026.milliken.com.
