All our polymers are now positioned under a single portfolio brand: Signature Polymers. We will be making these modifications over the next six months so you will see both old and new grade names highlighted moving forward.
HDPE for MDO films
HDPE for machine direction oriented (MDO) films
ExxonMobil has developed its latest innovation in high-density polyethylene; ExxonMobil™ HD7165L for Machine Direction Oriented (MDO) PE film applications. Development of HD7165L has been driven by market demand from brand owners and processors seeking all-PE packaging, which has created a need for print webs made of blown MDO-PE films. Designed for recyclability, HD7165L enables the production of mono-material laminates to replace multi-material laminate structures, which can be difficult to recycle.
Applications
The platform is well suited for mono-material laminated packaging used for nuts, crackers, condiments, granola bars, potato chips, and more.
Main attributes:
Heat resistance
Stiffness (lack of extensibility)
Printability
Optical properties
Blown MDO-PE:
High, uniform orientation
Gauge stability
Easy processability
Low gels
*Recyclable in communities with programs and facilities that collect and recycle plastic film.
