ExxonMobil will demonstrate at its Plastex booth (C10) how, by working together and utilizing combined expertise, customers across the value chain can create differentiated solutions for a range of applications including: packaging, agriculture, building & construction, and hygiene & personal care.
As emphasized by Adeline Duponchel, Polyethylene Regional Market Development Manager at ExxonMobil, there is a growing demand in the Middle East region for innovative packaging solutions that deliver extreme performance while doing more with less. At Plastex, visitors to ExxonMobil's booth will have the opportunity to see innovative solutions for a wide range of applications, discuss their challenges and discover the benefits of working together to develop innovative, differentiated solutions.
The key highlights of ExxonMobil’s presence at Plastex include the packaging applications made with Exceed™ XP, Exceed™ and Enable™ performance PE polymers such as full polyethylene (PE) stand-up pouches (SUP), heavy duty sacks made with multi-cycle recycled polyethylene (PE), collation shrink packaging, and cast stretch and stretch hood packaging films. Another highlight is the Rethink Recycle with Vistamaxx™ performance polymers, a proven, cost-effective solution allowing increased recycled content utilization for high-value applications. Acting as a compatibilizer between PE and polypropylene (PP) in recycled content streams, Vistamaxx polymers can improve the properties, such as impact strength, of recycled content containing products. The booth will also showcase agricultural films which, because they are made with performance PE polymers, are tougher and thinner than conventional films for longer service life and less material use.
Besides Rethink Recycle, Vistamaxx™ performance polymers help create new possibilities in a wide variety of applications because they can enhance attributes such as toughness, cling, sealability, softness, clarity, dispersion, adhesion, elasticity and flexibility, according to Gertrud Masure, Vistamaxx EMEAF Market Development Manager at ExxonMobil.
