Two new additive masterbatches for polyolefins that offer both improved performance and sustainability benefits are newly available from Milliken.

  • UltraGuard 2.0 builds on Milliken’s long-standing line of tailored masterbatches for PE to improve barrier performance in HDPE and LLDPE by up to 70% — subsequently supporting more monomaterial packaging options and material downgauging.
     
  • Hyperform HPN 58ei enhances performance for PP sheets and thermoformed parts to deliver improved optical performance, isotropic shrinkage and regrind quality, and is FDA approved for food packaging.

Milliken works across the value chain to enable PP and PE formulations that make plastics more reusable, recyclable and efficient without sacrificing performance. With a range of clarifier and nucleator agents, masterbatches, polymeric colorants, and viscosity and performance modifiers, Milliken’s portfolio helps its customers and brand owners achieve their own sustainability goals.

Complementing its overarching approach to responsible manufacturing processes and in alignment with the company’s 2025 sustainability goals and its near- and long-term net-zero targets, Milliken develops products that support its customers’ sustainability goals, says Milliken’s Global Vice President for plastic additives Wim Van de Velde.
