ExxonMobil Vistamaxx 130 Very Low Viscosity Propylene Elastomer for Hot Melt Adhesives & Compounding
Density: 0.870 g/cm³
Ethylene Content: 10 wt%
✅ Very Low Viscosity
Vistamaxx 130 is a very low viscosity propylene-based elastomer primarily composed of isotactic propylene repeat units with random ethylene distribution, produced using ExxonMobil’s proprietary metallocene catalyst technology. This grade is supplied in pellet form and enables enhanced flow characteristics that can lead to processing efficiency and cycle time improvements. Suitable for industrial applications requiring low viscosity and high flow.
With a viscosity of 4380 mPa·s at 190°C, Vistamaxx 130 delivers exceptional flow and processing ease, making it a preferred choice for formulators seeking to reduce melt pressure, improve filler dispersion, and increase throughput in adhesive and compounding systems.
This grade offers low odor and low color characteristics, making it suitable for sensitive adhesive formulations. Its non-corrosive profile protects processing equipment and extends operational life. The material is thermally stable across a wide processing window and provides excellent compatibility with a broad range of polyolefins, including PP and PE.
Designed for versatility, Vistamaxx 130 can be used as a process aid or viscosity modifier in extrusion and injection molding applications, or as a key performance additive in hot melt adhesive formulations where low viscosity, substrate wetting, and balanced adhesion are critical.
