Case study: PELEX plastic packaging

PELEX S.A.S. is a private Bogotá-based Colombian company, dedicated to the manufacture of plastic films for packaging, sanitary products and flexible packaging. The company is focused on continuous improvement and innovation. When ExxonMobil presented its novel Exceed™ XP performance polyethylene (PE) developed for high performance stretch applications for cast machines, PELEX was eager to evaluate it with the goal of providing an improved stretch film solution to its customers. The targeted application is high performance stretch, with elongation higher than 400% to be used in the beverage industry.
