Expanding polypropylene’s potential with ultimate transparency
Imagine a world where clarity inspires trust, innovation drives sustainability, and every product tells a story of excellence. With ADK TRANSPAREX™, ADEKA is redefining what transparency means—bringing together unmatched transparency, reduced additives, and FDA-approved safety with a steadfast commitment to sustainability.
Polypropylene and TRANSPAREX™: A winning combination!
TRANSPAREX™ is a new high-performance clarifier that transforms polypropylene (PP) into a material with glass-like transparency. By enabling polypropylene to replace less sustainable materials such as polystyrene, PET, and even glass, ADK TRANSPAREX™ meets the diverse needs of modern manufacturing while supporting eco-conscious innovation.
Thanks to ADK TRANSPAREX™, the true potential of polypropylene (PP) is being unlocked like never before. The polypropylene market is rapidly expanding, driven by the growing global demand for packaging solutions, particularly in the food and beverage industry. This growth is fueled by polypropylene’s exceptional properties, which make it an ideal material for today’s industrial needs.
Polypropylene offers an excellent moisture barrier, ensuring efficient food packaging that protects against spoilage. Its heat and chemical resistance preserves the integrity of the packaging maintaining product quality over time. Additionally, polypropylene has the lowest carbon footprint among polymers, is highly recyclable, making it a more sustainable choice compared to other materials like polystyrene.
By combining these inherent advantages of polypropylene with the groundbreaking transparency of ADK TRANSPAREX™, ADEKA is shaping a future where beauty, functionality, and eco-consciousness are inseparable.
Why choose TRANSPAREX™?
TRANSPAREX™ offers:
- Ultimate transparency: With a Haze value of ≤2.0, ADK TRANSPAREX™ achieves clarity comparable to amorphous materials like PS, PC and PET, making polypropylene a viable alternative to traditional materials.
- Cost and production efficiency: By reducing the amount of additives required and accelerating the crystallization process of polypropylene, ADK TRANSPAREX™ lowers production costs and shortens cycle times, enabling faster and more efficient manufacturing.
- Sustainability: Enables polypropylene (PP) to replace less eco-friendly materials like polystyrene, and glass, reducing environmental impact. By using fewer additives, it contributes to a more resource-efficient manufacturing process. Additionally, the high transparency achieved with TRANSPAREX™ provides new eco-designs packaging options as a clear and more sustainable alternative to colored packaging while also enhancing the recyclability of polypropylene
- Certified safety: Approved by the FDA for food contact, ensuring safe use across a wide range of . The product is also expected to receive food contact approval in Europe next year, further expanding its applicability.
- Versatility across industries: TRANSPAREX™ is suitable for a wide range of applications, including transparent, recyclable food packaging; durable household goods like storage boxes; premium, alcohol-compatible cosmetic bottles; transparent medical devices such as syringes; automotive components for next-generation vehicles; modern, heat- and cold-resistant home appliances; and strong, moldable building materials for construction needs.
- Enhanced polypropylene properties: Combines the best of two worlds—bringing together the superior transparency provided by TRANSPAREX™ and the inherent benefits of polypropylene, such as heat resistance, chemical resistance, and weight reduction. Additionally, polypropylene with ADK TRANSPAREX™ benefits from an increased heat deflection temperature, making it perfectly suitable for microwaveable and heat-sealed packaging (high hot tack), further enhancing its versatility and performance in demanding applications.
