(BW)(TX-EXXONMOBIL-CHEMICAL)(XOM)ExxonMobil Chemical to Showcase Vast Portfolio of Products at PlastIndia 2009
Product Categories Vary from Consumer and Industrial Packaging to Consumer,Health and Automotive Applications
Houston, United States, Thursday, February 05, 2009 -- (Business Wire India) --
ExxonMobil Chemical will present its broad portfolio at PlastIndia 2009 Hall 7H, specifically highlighting its specialty elastomers, polyethylene and polypropylene-based products. VistamaxxT specialty elastomers, SantopreneT thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs), Enable mPET and ExxtralT Performance Polyolefins will be among the brands on display.
"With demand for petrochemicals growing throughout India, PlastIndia is an ideal showcase for us," said John Verity, vice president, polyolefins, ExxonMobil Chemical. "The country's economic infrastructure is expanding rapidly and we want to be a part of this growth."
Verity and Dirk Michiels, manager of global polyolefins product technology, also will be participating in PlastIndia's International Conference, where they will be giving presentations on the state of the polymer industry and ExxonMobil Chemical's commitment to technology and innovation.
Among the specialty elastomers on display, VistamaxxT specialty elastomers and SantopreneT thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs) can improve flexibility in polyolefin-based compositions. In addition, these specialty elastomers are cost competitive.
Santoprene TPVs are flexible, ready-to-use compounds ideal for electrical insulation and jacketing applications. They exhibit excellent environmental resistance to ozone, chemicals and UV light; resistance to extreme temperatures better low temperature flexibility than thermoplastic polyolefins, good oil resistance; outstanding electrical performance through high dielectric strength; and, excellent wet electrical properties.
Vistamaxx specialty elastomers offer ease of processing and compatibility with a wide variety of polymers - meaning customers enjoy the flexibility of using them in a wide variety of new and innovative market applications. These specialty elastomers can be processed in a number of ways including cast film, blown film, extrusion coating and injection molding, among others. They provide a gateway to new, innovative product designs, often at lower costs.
Along with lower costs, waste reduction and energy consumption are focal points for many customers. ExxonMobil Chemical's recently introduced new metallocene polyethylene product, Enable mPE, has that potential for a broad spectrum of film applications. Its innovative design reduces the amount of raw materials needed because the films are thinner but equal in strength. Enable mPE also generates less process waste than resins used in existing applications, and it is recyclable. Enable mPE is ideal for packaging as it makes it easier to ship and store products, plus its transparency and toughness make it well-suited for agricultural greenhouse films.
ExxonMobil Chemical continues to be at the forefront of innovation to respond to new demands from consumers, new requirements from manufacturers and new specifications from equipment makers. For example, Exxtral Performance Polyolefins are being certified for various automotive applications. The grade slate joins an extensive portfolio of neat and impact copolymer products widely used in a variety of interior, exterior and under-the-hood applications. Another example involves the introduction of a series of innovations that enable the production of polypropylene fabrics that have cotton-like softness, excellent drapability and solid abrasion resistance.
"Our technological advances continue to bring higher valued products to markets such as India in the hope of improving the quality of life for each and every citizen," Verity said.
