Based on the established Millad platform, ClearX 9000 achieves ultra-clear PP at more efficient loading levels, reducing the amount of clarifying additive required.<\/p>\n

It is also reported to lower extraction and migration rates in PP packaging and parts \u2014 important for food-contact and medical products.<\/p>\n

The technology offers improved processing compatibility compared to prior generations, enhancing operational efficiency.<\/p>\n

It also removes the requirement to segregate virgin and PCR resin streams, allowing more compositional flexibility.<\/p>\n

ClearX 9000 holds broad US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) conditions-of-use approval (A\u2013J), enabling use across a wide range of food-contact applications.<\/p>\n

Enhanced additive compatibility reduces downtime, waste and changeover times for resin producers and converters.<\/p>\n

It also works with other Millad clarifiers, helping producers optimise formulations for both virgin and post-consumer recycled (PCR) PP and support sustainability goals.<\/p>\n

Milliken global product line manager of plastic additives business Bhavesh Gandhi stated: \u201cOur team developed Millad ClearX\u2122 9000 to address the growing need for clarity and efficiency in polypropylene applications.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy reducing additive loading and migration rates, we\u2019re helping our customers create products that are not only visually appealing but also meet the highest standards for food and medical use.\u201d<\/p>\n

In September 2025, energy investment and development company OQ collaborated with<\/a> Milliken to launch Luban RP2251T, a new clarified random copolymer for injection moulding applications.<\/p>\n
