Propylene-based elastomer increases flexibility and elasticity
April 11, 2011
Based
on ExxonMobil Chemical’s proprietary Exxpol metallocene technology, Vistamaxx
propylene-based elastomer offers a unique combination of high elasticity,
softness, toughness, flexibility and clarity. Vistamaxx propylene-based
elastomer can be used as a blend partner to modify the polymer properties to
meet the needs of the application in which it is being used. Vistamaxx
propylene-based elastomer can increase flexibility and elasticity, replacing
higher cost materials. It can enhance quality and durability of components to
reduce breakage during handling or when it is used in low temperature
environments. Vistamaxx propylene-based elastomer can be used to maintain
clarity while enhancing strength and flexibility. A lower density alternative to
PET, PC and PVC, it can be used for downgauging, reducing part thickness and
weight. Vistamaxx propylene-based elastomer reduces stress whitening and retains
the color and quality of the parts that require bending, such as profiles, tubes
and hinges. It also provides a soft, comfort touch grip for consumer products
and appliances while providing good chemical resistance. Exhibiting a broad
sealing window and low heat seal initiation temperature, Vistamaxx
propylene-based elastomer provides flexibility and appealing transparency in
film structures. In cast polypropylene
films, Vistamaxx provides a better hermetic seals for leak-free, airtight
packaging, while enabling high-speed packaging with customer line speeds
increased by up to 100 percent. Similar benefits can be gained in other flexible
packaging applications such as biaxially oriented polypropylene sealable films
and heat shrinkable display packaging films.
