TPE-O - Polypropylene based elastomers

Vistamaxx™ performance polymers are innovative solutions with the potential for growth expansion. Vistamaxx polymers enable companies to develop innovative solutions that can improve product performance and manufacturing efficiency. It can also contribute to increased sustainability by downgauging packaging films, reducing material use, reducing wall thickness in rigid packaging and strengthening products to avoid breakage or waste. It can also reduce energy consumption through lower temperature processing. Vistamaxx™ performance polymers are propylene based elastomers. The range consists of grades with an MFI range from 3 – 48 (g/10 min. at 2.16kg). The ethylene content in % w/w ranges from 4 – 16%, depending on the specific grade.
