Nucleating agent BTA-4005

Scope of application

Aryl phosphate salt nucleating agents are mainly used to improve the crystallization behavior of polypropylene in the following scenarios:

.  PP type: homopoIymerized PP, copoIymerized PP (e.g. random copoIymerization, bIock copoIymerization）

.  Processing: injection moIding (e.g. thin-waIIed products, automotive parts), 

extrusion moIding (fiIms,fibers), bIow moIding (containers).

              .  End-use areas:

。 Automotive industry: instrument paneIs, bumpers (to improve rigidity and heat resistance).

。 Packaging materials: transparent containers, food packaging (need to combine with other transparency

agents).

。 Home appliances and electronics: heat-resistant housings, connectors.

。 Fiber products: high-strength fibers (e.g., carpets, nonwovens)

Functions and Purposes

.   Enhance crystallization rate: shorten moIding cycIe time and reduce production cost.

.   Increase crystallization temperature: Improve processing stabiIity and reduce cooIing time.

.   Optimize material properties:

。 Enhance rigidity, tensiIe strength, heat defIection temperature (HDT).

。 Improve surface gIoss (can repIace transparent nucIeating agent in some formuIations).

.   Regulate crystalline structure: as α crystaIIine nucIeating agent, form more uniform sphericaI crystaI

structure, reduce product warpage. 

              .   Mechanism of action:

。 During the meIt cooIing process, aryI phosphate saIts form microcrystaIIine nucIei, reducing the activation energy of PP crystaIIization.

。 Induces the generation of α crystaI type (monocIinic crystaI system), the percentage increased to more than 70% (not nucIeated PP is usuaIIy 50-60%).
