    Adding 15% Vistamaxx PBE to the core layer of an existing stretch hood film formulation used at an ExxonMobil Chemical plant in Belgium reduced material usage by up to 16% while still securely wrapping and stabilizing 25kg sacks of polymer pellets on pallets. Tests showed the modified 3-layer film structure, with Exceed mPE resin in the outer layers and a blend of 15% Vistamaxx PBE and 85% Nexxstar EVA copolymer resin in the core layer, met the application's stretch ratio target of 55% while being thinner at 90 microns compared to the original 100 micron film.

    Adding Vistamaxx PBE to an existing stretch hood film formulation being used at

    an ExxonMobil Chemical plant in Belgium delivers up to 16% reduction in


    material use. Tests undertaken by ESTL nv of Belgium indicate that 25kg sacks of
    polymer pellets are kept secure and stable on the pallet. The modified 3-layer film
    structure comprises 100% Exceed mPE resin in the outer layers and 15%
    Vistamaxx PBE and 85% Nexxstar EVA copolymer resin in the core.
    The Exceed mPE resin-based skin layers deliver toughness, improved
    resistance to hole formation and tear propagation in addition to excellent
    optical properties. Nexxstar EVA copolymer resins provide high holding
    force and stretch capability. The addition of Vistamaxx PBE in the core layer
    allows elastic recovery to be enhanced.
    The film met the application’s stretch ratio target of 55% and was
    thinner than the original film, having been downgauged from 100 microns to 90
    microns.
