Elevating recycled polypropylene performance

RECYCLING ADDITIVES FOR POLYPROPYLENE

Looking to make progress toward plastic circularity solutions? We can help.

Creating plastic products and packaging with circularity in mind is easier said than done. 

Milliken understands the nuances of developing resins and creating products made of virgin and recycled polypropylene (PP). Our portfolio of additive solutions enables you to increase your recycled PP content while optimizing the overall performance of your formulation. From refining material selection to leveraging recycled content and circular design principles, we can work together to envision what’s possible for recycled plastics.

SOLUTION SPOTLIGHT

DeltaMax®

With DeltaMax® Performance Modifiers, you can maximize the physical properties and processability of polypropylene (PP) for injection molding applications. DeltaMax® enables converters to enhance the impact and melt flow of virgin and recycled PP resins, creating resins with higher levels of recycled content that match or exceed the performance levels of virgin PP resins.
