ExxonMobil has launched two new grades to expand its Exceed XP Performance polymers portfolio for the packaging industry.
The two new grades Exceed XP 6026 and Exceed XP 6056 will be showcased at K 2016 event scheduled to be held in Dusseldorf, Germany from 19-26 October.
ExxonMobil said that the grades will deliver performance advantages for film converters and end-users in applications that include soft-shrink and food lamination packaging film.
In addition to offering extreme film performance, the grades are designed to provide improved processability with enhanced toughness, flex-crack resistance, sealability, balanced shrink performance, and good optical properties.
ExxonMobil Chemical plastics and resins vice-president Cindy Shulman said: “We are excited to extend our recently launched Exceed XP portfolio with two new grades that provide our customers with additional options for applications that require extreme performance.
“Since its launch, Exceed XP has been exceptionally well received in the market with customers reporting an unprecedented level of performance. The new grades we are introducing will broaden this impact.”
Additionally, the polymers offer converters with high melt strength while promoting greater bubble stability and improved output.
Shulman added: “It is by sharing knowledge and working in collaboration across the value chain that helps us create differentiated solutions for applications where extreme performance matters.”
Using Exceed XP, flexible food packaging produces exceptionally strong films that prevent product leakage and contamination while soft-shrink packaging produces tough and secure shrink film with controlled holding forces to protect delicate or irregularly shaped packaging,
The company said that Exceed XP allows for cost-effective fabrication of films for extreme protection and preservation.
