Ghent, Belgium – 13 July, 2010 – Increasing sustainability through additive innovation is central to the many cutting-edge developments for polyolefins to be presented by Milliken at K 2010. Milliken will showcase pioneering possibilities in optical enhancement and processing improvements for packaging, automotive and technical applications, with the added bonus of energy reduction, less material consumption, and more cost-effective production.
Ghent, Belgium – 5 July, 2010 – Total Petrochemicals USA, Inc., a leading polypropylene (PP) producer headquartered in Houston, and Milliken Chemical, a division of Milliken & Company, collaborated on a new metallocene PP resin clarified with Milliken’s Millad® NX8000 technology. The new material, Total Petrochemicals’ Lumicene® M3382MZ polypropylene, produces thermoformed parts with superior clarity and gloss and excellent side wall stiffness. The resin is ideal for deli containers, drinking cups, lids, domes and food service trays when high clarity and stiffness are important. The combination of Milliken’s high-performance clarifier and Total’s proprietary metallocene technology will help drive expanded use of low-density PP as a cost-effective and environmentally responsible replacement for other clear plastic materials. 
BERGEN OP ZOOM, The Netherlands – June 1, 2010 – In 2010, global cumulative installed photovoltaic (PV) capacity is expected to grow by at least 40 percent, with compounded annual growth estimated at 20 percent1. As demand for solar power rises, SABIC Innovative Plastics is helping to drive the viability of this much sought-after energy source into worldwide mainstream use. Its Noryl* and Lexan* EXL resins offer customers exceptional ease in solar panel use and greater cost-efficiency, and meet stringent global regulatory standards. Applications for SABIC Innovative Plastics’ materials range from PV frames to junction boxes to connectors, and the company continues to focus R&D efforts on new back sheet solutions.
