EXACTTM Plastomers are a family of ethylene alpha olefin copolymers produced using ExxonMobil Chemical’s ExxpolTM

metallocene catalyst technology. They offer a unique set of properties in which rubber-like properties and plastic process-

ability are realized in one material. Used neat or as polymer modifiers, EXACT Plastomers offer endless possibilities to

bring value to your products. They enhance the toughness, clarity and sealing performance of flexible packaging materials.

In molded and extruded products, they improve impact strength and flexibility. The combination of comonomer type and

process technology offered by ExxonMobil results in a wide range of products designed to serve customers’ unique needs:

Butene Good film properties, including high oxygen transmission rates for fresh produce packaging

Good property balance in PP-based TPOs

Hexene Outstanding toughness and puncture resistance for film applications

Excellent hot-tack strength and seal-through contamination in film heat-seal applications

Octene Excellent toughness and heat-seal properties for film applications

Easy processing for all applications due to shear thinning characteristics

Low density grades for outstanding low temperature impact resistance in PP-based TPOs
