MPM® 1113

MPM® 1113 by Mayzo is a beta nucleant masterbatch in polypropylene homopolymer carrier resin. It broadens the processing window for thin gauge thermoforming, and produces thermoformed containers with more uniform material distribution, improved crush strength & rigidity with lower sidewall density. It can be added to non-nucleated polypropylene polymers and is particularly effective in random and impact copolymers, in order to produce high levels of beta phase crystallinity. When extruded sheets are stretched in the solid state to produce oriented films, these films become micro voided, appear white and opaque, and shows reduction in density. MPM® 1113 offers improved impact strength, long term creep performance as well as excellent chemical resistance in PP pressure pipe applications. Recommended addition level is 0.20% to 2.0%. It is FDA approved.
