Global Nucleating and Clarifying Agents Market, 2024-2030

Nucleating and clarifying agents are often used to modify the properties of various polymers. These agents are used in semi‐crystalline polymer systems (mainly polyolefins) to increase the degree of crystallinity and lamellae thickness and, hence, improve stiffness and strength. Adding nucleating agents to the semi-crystalline polymers provides a surface to start the crystal growth. As a result, fast crystal formation will accelerate in many small crystal forms. Cycle times in injection molding are thus reduced. Mechanical properties like flexural modulus, strength, heat distortion temperature and hardness will increase. The clarity and transmittance are therefore significantly improved.

In addition to altered mechanical characteristics, clarifying agents do also improve optical properties. Nucleating and clarifying agents improve the efficiency of production, and the properties and aesthetics of finished articles made from polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The nucleating and clarifying agents are available in powered, liquid and granules form. These agents have wide area of end user industry applications including packing, consumer product, electronics industry, and automotive industry.
