ExxonMobil Demonstrates “A New Chapter in Collaboration” Through Value Chain Collaboration at NPE
April 30 2024 - 9:00AM
ExxonMobil will demonstrate at its National Plastics Exhibition
(NPE) ballroom booth space W206AB in Orlando, Florida, how it is
starting “A new chapter in collaboration” with the demonstration of
solutions for consumer packaging, industrial packaging,
agriculture, hygiene and medical applications created in
collaboration with customers, machinery original equipment
manufacturers (OEM) and brand owners.
“NPE marks a new chapter in collaboration for the ExxonMobil
polymers business. We are intensifying our focus on building
relationships, collaborating, and supporting the value chain as we
innovate together to meet market needs,” said Matt Loach, Global
Marketing Manager, Polyethylene, ExxonMobil.
Visitors to ExxonMobil’s booth will have the opportunity to
interact with local and global experts to discuss solutions to
their challenges and design options. A range of film and rigid
application samples will be demonstrated and highlighted during the
show.
These advanced solutions, which incorporate ExxonMobil’s
performance polymers that can help boost performance while enabling
sustainability benefits, include:
- “Designed for recyclability*” packaging solutions including
mono-material polyethylene (PE) lamination films and pouches, as
well as PE-rich barrier packaging films including examples of
vacuum sealed and thermoformed structures.
- Examples of products created incorporating certified-circular
polymers that leverage Exxtend™ technology for advanced
recycling.
- Solutions that can help enable the incorporation of recycled
content while maintaining/boosting performance with ExxonMobil
performance polymers. Samples include collation shrink films,
heavy-duty sacks as well as boxes for industrial and consumer
applications.
- Applications that can do more with less through downgauging
including greenhouse films, pond liners, laminated films, and
heavy-duty sacks for agricultural and industrial products.
Additional innovative items on show include:
- Demonstrations of how polymer-based solutions can contribute to
the toughness and stiffness for cups, containers, and consumer
packaging.
- Display of hygiene solutions providing benefits for baby
diapers, adult incontinence articles, and products for feminine
care
- Examples of solutions used in medical supplies, infection
protection, and pharmaceutical and laboratory applications.
Highlighted collaborations on display include:
- Thermoformed packaging from Nissei, as well as a collaboration
between ExxonMobil, Ulma, Kuarary and W&H.
- Products from a variety of brand owners featuring
certified-circular polymers leveraging Exxtend™ technology for
advanced recycling.
- Duplex metallized and recyclable* high-barrier MDO-PE//PE
laminate from Hosokawa Alpine, Nordmeccanica, Henkel and
Univel.
- Colines will be demonstrating machine runs and film rolls
featuring cast stretch film as well as pre-stretched hand-wrap and
high tenacity hand-wrap incorporating and not incorporating
post-consumer recycled (PCR) content.
- Non-laminated freezer pouch using Exceed S providing options
for structure simplification and downgauging.
- Stand up pouches from W&H and Henkel featuring MDO
film.
- Vacuum skin packaging from Videplast.
- High-value industrial and consumer applications leveraging both
PP and PE recycled plastics from Engel.
- A variety of medical equipment solutions from Milacron,
WellTech and Borche.
- Corrugated and wax boxes incorporating PCR from Seattle
Box.
Demonstrated solutions include ExxonMobil performance polymers
such as:
- Exceed™ S performance polyethylene for applications with highly
demanding requirements in stiffness and toughness, and when easy
processability is essential.
- Exceed™ XP performance polyethylene for highly demanding
applications that require extreme toughness.
- Vistamaxx™ performance polymers and Exact™ polyolefin
elastomers that can boost performance, like impact strength, which
can help enable innovative possibilities for applications
incorporating increased levels of recycled PP and PE content.
- ExxonMobil™ PP and Achieve™ Advanced PP for applications
requiring impact strength and stiffness such as injection molded or
extrusion molded automotive components, appliance parts and rigid
packaging.
