| Vistamaxx™*: key product attributes | Application |
Vistamaxx™ propylene-based elastomers are produced by ExxonMobil Chemical using proprietary metallocene catalyst technology | – Elasticity | – Stretch film |
| – Softness | – Elastic hygiene film |
| – Sealability | – Surface protection film |
| – Adhesion | – Stretch hood film |
Composition and structure: | – Toughness | – Heat sealable cast PP (cPP) film |
• Semicrystalline copolymers of propylene and ethylene | – Cling / tackiness | – Heat sealable |
• High propylene levels (>80 wt%) with isotactic stereochemistry | | – BOPP film |
• Uniform inter- and intramolecular composition and crystallinity distribution | | – Heat shrinkable display films (double bubble) |
• Crystallinity is modulated with ethylene: | | – Extrusion lamination in flexible packaging |
• 5-25% crystallinity, large amorphous fraction | | – Polypropylene raffia tapes |
• Very soft | | – Extrusion coated and laminated PP woven sacks |
• Elasticity unlike other polyolefin polymers, blends or alloys | | – Industrial fabrics extrusion coating |
| | – HDPE shopper and garbage bags |
