Milliken & Company is introducing here at NPE 2018, in booth #S26023, DeltaMax™ Performance Modifiers, a radical advancement in additive technology for polypropylene impact copolymers (PP ICPs) and recycled polypropylene. The new masterbatches maximize the impact strength and melt flow of resins without compromising stiffness performance. These improved properties allow PP to be used in a wider range of applications in more cost-effective ways. In addition, the new DeltaMax technology is highly effective in modifying post-consumer and post-industrial recycled resins. It elevates impact and melt flow to the same level as – or better than – those of virgin resin. This unique capability allows compounders and converters to incorporate up to 100 percent recycled PP without sacrificing performance or processing. View more and related images

SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, is showcasing here at NPE 2018, booth S19001, the success of its collaborative efforts with customer, eNeura Inc. (“eNeura”), in developing a clinically proven, non-drug option for the prevention and treatment of migraine headaches. The sTMS mini® by eNeura® is a physician-prescribed, portable delivery system for single-pulse, transcranial magnetic stimulation. Working with SABIC and PTA Plastics, its injection molder, eNeura selected SABIC’s LEXAN™ polycarbonate (PC) copolymer for the housing of the device. This healthcare-grade material met the company’s stringent requirements for biocompatibility, resistance to impact and household chemicals, light weight for easy handling, and the ability to be precisely color matched. The sTMS mini was cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for migraine prevention in 2017, following previous agency clearance in 2014 for acute treatment. View more and related images
