One Additive.
Exceptional Results.

ASN BetaNuc SX-514 is a non-elastomeric, beta-nucleating multifunctional modifier developed to transform standard PP homopolymer into a material with superior overall performance — at just 0.5% to 2% loading.

Outstanding Toughness

Achieve enhanced impact strength and elongation at break without sacrificing homopolymer stiffness. Replace expensive impact copolymers entirely.

Lower Material Costs

Save money by upgrading standard PP instead of buying expensive copolymers. Reduce raw material costs while improving part performance.

Dimensional Stability

More uniform crystallization means less warpage, better part consistency, and fewer rejects across your production line.

Easy Integration

Supplied as pellets — simply blend with your PP resin at 0.5–2% loading. No equipment changes. No process disruption. First-time-right results.

The beta-nucleating agent that delivers an exceptional performance boost to PP Homopolymer.

Base Resin Compatibility

PP Homopolymer Random PP Copolymer Low Impact Copolymer

Works best with non-nucleated & non-clarified grades. Do not use with pre-nucleated PP or alpha-nucleating agents.

Do

  • Test in small batches first to confirm target properties
  • Use recommended processing conditions (200–230°C melt)
  • Compatible with CaCO3, TiO2, Glass Fiber & Color MB
  • Use moderate mold temps (40–50°C) for optimal beta-phase

Don't

  • Combine with strong alpha-nucleators (Talc, PP Clarifiers)
  • Blend with high ethylene copolymers or POE
  • Overheat or dwell above 250°C in the extruder
  • Use for multifilament or monofilament yarn applications

Engineered for
Your Process.

From injection moulding to custom compounding — SX-514 delivers measurable performance gains across every major PP processing method.

01

Injection Moulding

Replace expensive Impact Copolymers, POE, and EPDM entirely. Achieve massive increases in impact strength with standard PP Homopolymer at 1–2% SX-514.

+ +82% Izod notched impact strength
+ Exponential improvement in hinge properties
+ Enhanced chemical & environmental stress crack resistance

02

Thermoforming

Achieve broader processing windows, deeper draws, and more uniform wall thickness. Renew trim regrind back to near-prime material to reincorporate into the process.

+ Higher material yield with less scrap
+ Broader processing window for consistent output
+ Revive trim regrind back to near-prime quality
