描述
ExxonMobil Vistamaxx 3020FL Film Grade Propylene Elastomer is a propylene elastomer designed for blown film, thermoforming, compounding, and polyolefin modification applications. It is primarily composed of isotactic propylene repeat units with random ethylene distribution and is produced using ExxonMobil metallocene catalyst technology.
Vistamaxx 3020FL is a film-grade performance polymer. The “FL” designation indicates improved film appearance with regard to gels, making this grade suitable for performance film applications where melt strength, processability, toughness, and visual quality are important.
This grade can be blended with PP, PE, and other polyolefins to improve toughness, tear resistance, puncture resistance, sealing performance, and flexibility in film and packaging applications.
