- Mode of action PYCNO 559 PP and PE contains a very effective nucleating agent that outperforms traditional nucleation agents like talc and benzoate salts. Nucleating agents increase the crystallization rate of and the number of spherulites in the polymer. A faster crystallization rate allows for higher productivity in moulding and extrusion processes. An increased number of spherulites in the polymer improves the stiffness and heat deflection temperature.
