Nucleating
Crystallinity, Transparency and Speed
Nucleating masterbatches (active and/or inert) promote the formation of micro-cells in expanded extrudates and the clarification of polypropylene, enhancing appearance, stiffness and cycle times in industrial processes.
The MasterPlast Nucleating range includes active and/or inert masterbatches designed to promote nucleation during expansion processes (e.g. polystyrene and polyethylene expanded extrusions) and for PP clarification. Controlled nucleation results in more uniform micro-cells in foamed products and finer crystallinity in semi-finished goods, delivering improved transparency and dimensional stability. Masterbatch formulations simplify dosing and dispersion in production lines, ensuring repeatability and consistent performance.
Why choose our nucleating masterbatches
- Active and/or inert grades to meet different application requirements (foamed products and clarified PP).
- Controlled micro-cell structure in expanded extrudates (PS/PE) → finer and more uniform structure.
- PP clarification with enhanced aesthetics and faster crystallization.
- Masterbatch format for easy dosing and homogeneous in-line dispersion.
Applications
- Expanded polystyrene and expanded polyethylene extrusions (finer micro-cell structure).
- Polypropylene (PP): clarification and increased crystallinity (improved transparency and stiffness).
