Hot-melt adhesives (HMA) for assembly
Imagine the possibilities of a versatile, high-performance adhesive solution for assembly applications. Vistamaxx™ performance polymers use ExxonMobil’s proprietary metallocene technology to develop a new generation of high-performance HMA formulations.
Adhesives that use Vistamaxx combine it with a mix of ingredients including tackifying resins (such as Escorez™ tackifiers), wax and antioxidant. Since Vistamaxx can account for 70-90% of the mixture, it offers many competitive benefits, including high mileage and low odor.
