HECO®NUK nucleating agents for the plastics industry

A diamond is the ordered structure of carbon. It is only through high pressure that the ordered structure is achieved, bringing with it the purity and strength of the diamond. Our HECO®NUK nucleating agents also achieve an ordered crystalline structure in plastics – completely without pressure, but with equally high strength.

With our HECO®NUK nucleating agents, we increase the nucleation number in the crystallisation of polymers. The reduced crystallite size improves the transparency and mechanical properties of the polymer. The plastic raw diamond is polished by our HECO®NUK additives in order to shine with its new strength.

Our HECO®NUK additives act as organic and inorganic nucleating agents. They can be used pure or in combination with a demoulding agent. Depending on the polymer, we will work with you to select the right additive for your processing workflow. These three nucleating agents stand out in our portfolio:

HECO®NUK 425 PE is an inorganic nucleating agent that is used in combination with a demoulding agent that also supports demoulding in the processing stage and increases the output in the injection moulding machine.

HECO®NUK 484 PP shines as an organic nucleating agent in combination with a demoulding agent. HECO®NUK 487 PP iis our pure organic nucleating agent without the demoulding agent. Both additives ensure freedom from distortion and stabilisation of opening forces in the closure industry.

We would also be pleased to provide the special finishing touch for your plastics. Let us boost your plastic together.
