April 7 (TextileWorld) --
Houston-based ExxonMobil Chemical Co. has introduced four new grades of its
Vistamaxx propylene-based elastomers for flexible film applications including
extrusion coated and laminated woven and nonwoven polyolefinic substrates, cast
polypropylene (PP), PP raffia tape, surface protection
film, and elastic hygiene films. Vistamaxx 6202FL, Vistamaxx 6102FL, Vistamaxx
3980FL and Vistamaxx 3020FL exhibit a low gel count, which offers enhanced
sealability, improved adhesion, inherent elasticity and toughness, as well as
excellent appearance and processing reliability, according to the company. The
products also are compatible with a broad range of polyolefins.
"Vistamaxx propylene-based elastomers have been developed to
enable converters and manufacturers to specifically tailor the properties of
mono- or multi-layer films to meet customer needs," said Carol Fitzpatrick,
global development manager for Vistamaxx propylene-based elastomers in film,
ExxonMobil Chemical. "Because different processing techniques such as cast,
blown, extrusion coating and extrusion lamination can be used, Vistamaxx
provides opportunities to innovate and enhance the performance of a wide range
of films."
