ExxonMobil VistamaxxTM PBE* is coming soon

During Chinaplas 2014, Huashan Plastics Machinery Co.
, Ltd.
and Shantou Mingfa Machinery Co.
, Ltd.
will showcase new products
with ExxonMobil's VistamaxxTM PBE*.

Huashan Plastic Machinery will exhibit a three-layer co-extruded blown film shopping bag film of
high-density polyethylene and linear low-density polyethylene.
The film uses a masterbatch containing 20%~40% VistamaxxTM PBE* in the core layer, thereby enhancing the overall performance
of the film.
This 3-layer structure allows the core layer to be filled with more VistamaxxTM PBE* calcium carbonate masterbatch, which further enhances film toughness and provides opportunities for
thinning.
Compared to formulations without the addition of VistamaxxTM PBE* masterbatch, the 25-micron high-toughness shopping bag film produced with this solution reduces energy consumption and costs while increasing yield
.

Shantou Mingfa Machinery will demonstrate how polypropylene can be blended with 5% VistamaxxTM PBE* and produced tough, aesthetically pleasing disposable beverage cups
through its automated extrusion and thermoforming technologies.
Compared to polypropylene cups without VistamaxxTM PBE*, cups produced with this blend offer offer better impact resistance, clarity and stiffness
.
In addition, the formula can effectively reduce the breakage in the cup production process, while making the cup less likely to break
during stacking and transportation.
Similarly, improved impact strength can lead to downgauging opportunities, which can help reduce material consumption and costs
