Nucleation bench · finer spherulites = more clarity
Toggle the comparison: without a nucleating agent the spherulites are coarse and scatter light into haze; with CP-110 nuclei multiply, spherulites become fine and light transmission rises.
Hydrogenated abietic type · natural source
The hydrogenated abietic-type CP-110 nucleating agent is derived from natural rosin: odourless, non-toxic and non-irritant, with a high level of safety, and clean throughout production and use.
More nuclei · finer spherulites
Added during PP or PE extrusion, injection or blow moulding, it provides a high density of nuclei that refine the spherulites and reduce light scattering — giving high transparency, high rigidity and a high heat-resistant temperature, while effectively reducing shrinkage during cooling.
No aldehyde, no odour
It fully overcomes the problem of conventional sorbitol benzylidene derivative nucleating agents degrading, releasing the parent aldehyde and producing a characteristic odour — ideal where odour control is strict.
Key advantages and breakthroughs
Four advantages plus the clarity/rigidity/deformation meter and the aldehyde-release comparison.
Natural safety and sustainability
Derived from natural rosin: odourless, non-toxic, non-irritant, clean throughout production and use.
No aldehyde, no odour (legacy defects overcome)
Overcomes the easy degradation of conventional sorbitol benzylidene derivatives, their release of the parent aldehyde and the characteristic odour — suited to strict odour control.
Excellent clarity and rigidity boost
Greatly improves PP/PE light transmission and surface gloss, raises rigidity and heat resistance, and reduces cooling shrinkage.
Masterbatch processability
It can be added directly, or used with LLDPE as carrier to make a high-concentration clarity/rigidity masterbatch; in LLDPE/LDPE agricultural film it markedly raises light transmission.
Clarity · rigidity · deformation meter
Conventional sorbitol benzylidene derivative
Prone to degradation, releasing the parent aldehyde and producing a characteristic odour — limited in strict odour-control fields.
CP-110 hydrogenated abietic type
No aldehyde release, no odour — suited to odour-sensitive fields such as food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic packaging.
Applications
Four fields, all with strict requirements on transparency and odour.
Food and beverage packaging

01Product positioning
Name and positioning. The data page is titled 'PE/PP Nucleating Agent CP-110'; one-sentence positioning: 'a nucleating agent developed for plastic transparency, improving product rigidity, and reducing product deformation rate; mainly used in plastic product modification and processing industries.' (Data source: product handbook / official product data)
Overview (verbatim from source): 'The hydrogenated rosin acid type CP-110 nucleating agent is a nucleating agent developed by our company for plastic transparency, improving product rigidity, and reducing product deformation rate; it is mainly used in plastic product modification and processing industries. When added to PP or PE during extrusion, injection molding, or blow molding, this product can yield sheets, films, plastic containers, equipment components, beverage bottles, packaging materials, etc., with high transparency, strong rigidity, and high heat resistance temperature. It is particularly suitable for transparency modification of polypropylene and polyethylene injection-molded or blow-molded articles, and can also be used to produce clarifying and hardening modified masterbatch with LLDPE as the carrier. When used in LLDPE or LDPE agricultural film, light transmittance is significantly improved.' (Data source: product handbook / official product data)
Safety and environmental profile (verbatim from source): 'Because the raw material of the hydrogenated rosin acid type transparent nucleating agent comes from natural rosin, it is odorless, non-toxic, and non-irritating. It has a high degree of safety. It does not pollute the environment and is environmentally friendly.' (Data source: product handbook / official product data)
Comparison with sorbitol types (verbatim from source): 'It completely overcomes the problem that sorbitol benzylidene derivative nucleating agents readily undergo ester-degradation reactions, release parent aldehydes, and produce a characteristic aromatic odor. Thus, it can be widely used in fields with strict requirements for odor and human safety, such as cosmetics that must not have odor and must not irritate the skin, and food, beverage, and pharmaceutical packaging that must not have off-odors. With its superior performance, the hydrogenated rosin acid type polyolefin transparent nucleating agent greatly expands the use of transparent polyolefin articles in medical and food packaging fields.' (Data source: product handbook / official product data)
- Applicable processes: PP and PE extrusion, injection molding, or blow molding; particularly suitable for transparency modification of polypropylene and polyethylene injection-molded or blow-molded articles.
- Compatible articles: sheets, films, plastic containers, equipment components, beverage bottles, packaging materials, etc.
- Masterbatch applications: can be used to produce clarifying and hardening modified masterbatch with LLDPE as the carrier; when used in LLDPE or LDPE agricultural film, light transmittance is significantly improved.
- This grade is a historically listed grade (Discontinued); its documentation is retained; this page is compiled as-is from historical documentation.
02Formulation system & mechanism of action
The documentation does not list a separate mechanism section; according to the overview statement, this product functions as a hydrogenated rosin acid type nucleating agent in polyolefin processing, thereby achieving article performance of 'high transparency, strong rigidity, and high heat resistance temperature,' and targets the R&D objectives of 'plastic transparency, improving product rigidity, and reducing product deformation rate.' (Data source: product handbook / official product data)
Raw material route: the raw material of the hydrogenated rosin acid type transparent nucleating agent comes from natural rosin—the documentation uses this to explain its odorless, non-toxic, non-irritating, and odor-friendly characteristics. (Data source: product handbook / official product data)
The other side of the comparison statement in the documentation: sorbitol benzylidene derivative nucleating agents have the problem of 'readily undergoing ester-degradation reactions, releasing parent aldehydes, and producing a characteristic aromatic odor'; the documentation for this product records that it 'completely overcomes' this problem (verbatim from source). The related statements are the documentation's own description; this page reproduces them as-is and does not extrapolate. (Data source: product handbook / official product data)
