On December 5, 2023, Hengchang Chemical Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Dongming Petrochemical, announced the launch of ultra-transparent polypropylene special material HC8016. This product is a new grade of Dongming Petrochemical’s “Hengchang” brand transparent series polypropylene. With the help of Milliken’s innovative additive solutions, it has excellent transparency, and also has high modulus, high impact and other characteristics. This product The launch of the product is an important measure for Dongming Petrochemical to expand its layout in the high-end polypropylene field and achieve differentiated development.
HC8016 is a special ultra-transparent polypropylene material. Compared with ordinary ultra-transparent materials, the haze is about 5-6. By adding Millad® NX®
8000 transparency agent, the haze of HC8016 is only 4-4.5 (1mm thick sample), making the polypropylene special material close to glass-like transparency. At the same time, this product has good impact resistance, with a flexural modulus of 1200MPa and an impact strength of 4.5KJ/m2. In addition to its characteristics of high transparency, high impact resistance, and high flow, HC8016 helps improve production efficiency and reduce processing temperatures during the processing of plastic products, thereby reducing energy consumption during the production process and shortening the processing cycle. (The following chart shows the typical performance indicators of HC8016)
With the continuous upgrading of domestic consumption levels, the market demand in the field of polypropylene ultra-transparent packaging has become more diversified. The launch of HC8016 will help manufacture consumer-friendly, high-quality multi-purpose ultra-transparent packaging products, such as infant bottles, high-end food packaging, daily chemical and cosmetic packaging, and medical devices. By continuously launching differentiated products, Dongming Petrochemical stands out in the increasingly competitive transparent polypropylene market and further enhances brand awareness.
Compared with traditional transparent plastics, polypropylene has the characteristics of low density, good heat resistance, and wide processing adaptability. It can be used as a single material for packaging, which is conducive to recycling. Therefore, in many packaging fields, it can be used HC8016 ultra-transparent polypropylene replaces traditional transparent plastics such as PS and PET, such as high-end candy packaging, heatable food containers, and transparent plastic parts for home appliances.
“HC8016 is a new member of Dongming Petrochemical’s transparent series polypropylene product family. Its ‘four high and one low’ properties are very consistent with the future development direction of transparent polypropylene. The successful launch of this product will help us in the field of high-end polypropylene Form differentiated development.” Jiang Shun, Vice President of Shandong Dongming Petrochemical Group Co., Ltd. said, “In the future, Dongming Petrochemical will continue to strengthen technological innovation, improve the product performance and application scope of high-end polypropylene, and cooperate with the upstream and downstream of the industry chain to promote polypropylene. High quality, sustainable development for the propylene industry.”
