“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,” said Cindy Shulman, plastics and resins vice
president, ExxonMobil Chemical. “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.”
These grades, Exceed XP 6026 and Exceed XP 6056, provide
outstanding processability with enhanced toughness, flex-crack
resistance, sealability, balanced shrink performance, and good
optical properties. For converters, the high melt strength of these
polymers promotes greater bubble stability and improved output.
Exceed XP allows converters to cost-effectively fabricate films
for extreme protection and preservation:
- Soft-shrink
packaging films with the controlled holding force and
toughness for high integrity wrap, overwrap and bundle packaging
solutions that help brand owners protect delicate and
irregularly-shaped products from manufacturer to end-use. This
includes food products like pizza, meat and cheese; delicate
products including bathroom and kitchen tissues; and,
irregularly-shaped products such as office supplies, stationery
items, and air filters. Using Exceed XP, converters can enhance
their business through new opportunities, more stable operations,
and simplified formulations. They can now use existing extrusion
equipment, including monolayer lines, for a market which previously
required investment in new machinery.
- Food packaging
films, including pouches and bags, with the toughness
and sealing performance that enable brand owners to protect frozen
or dry foods, meat and cheese products from production to
consumption. The melt strength and toughness of Exceed XP provide
film downgauging opportunities while performance is maintained. The
performance and processing capabilities of these Exceed XP grades
allow converters to simplify product inventories, which can lower
costs.
“These new performance polymers are part of our commitment to
helping our customers achieve sustainable business growth,” said
Shulman. “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.”
