Polymer Modification Applications
|
The unique attributes of Exact plastomers bring value to a range of extruded
and molded products. They exhibit outstanding toughness, low temperature
flexibility and ductility, and chemical and thermal stability. As polymer
modifiers, they impart these attributes in their host polymers.
Some examples are listed below.
|
|
Automotive
|
|  |
Ductility of -30ºC or below in polypropylene-based automotive thermoplastic
olefin (TPO) compounds.
Improved paintability of TPOs.
|
|
|
Functionalized plastomers improve the impact strength of engineered polymers
such as nylon used in automotive parts.
|
|
Rigid Packaging
|
| |
Improved drop resistance of blow-molded PP bottles, while maintaining clarity.
Enhanced stress-crack resistance of high density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles
used for household and industrial chemicals.
|
|
|
Consumer Products
|
| |
Improved tear-resistance and compression set of EVA crosslinked foam for shoe
soles.
Increased impact-resistance of sports equipment such as kayaks rotomolded from
HDPE.
|
|
|
Wire and Cable
|
| |
Improved tensile strength and elongation of ethylene propylene diene monomer
(EPDM) compounds used for wire and cable.
|
|
|
Sheeting
|
Increased flexibility of PP impact copolymers for roofsheeting and
geomembranes.
