“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. These new grades
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
and liners for extreme protection and preservation:
- Greenhouse and
large tunnel film with the toughness and strength to
help farmers and horticulturalists protect and grow their fruits,
vegetables and flowers throughout the year. Exceed XP allows
converters to easily fabricate films which are typically 80-220
micron thick and up to 20 meters wide. They can withstand the
rigors of installation and varied environmental conditions,
including harsh weather over time. Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) and
non-EVA film formulations can be easily tailored for seasonal
requirements and for special applications and climate
conditions.
“These new performance polymers are part of our commitment to
help 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.”
