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.
E-commerce packaging
The rapid growth of e-commerce is generating a new demand for packaging globally. Packaging needs to ensure transit safety in variable and challenging delivery conditions while remaining cost effective. Meanwhile, there is growing interest from the packaging industry to help reduce plastic waste.
ExxonMobil Product Solutions offers a broad portfolio of performance polyethylene (PE) polymers designed to help manufacturers around the world provide extremely high performance packaging that can withstand the most demanding environments while offering downgauging opportunities.
Applications and benefits
Across the supply chain, performance PE polymer -based solutions deliver performance and value. Formulations can be tailored to derive maximum benefit.
For convertors
- Good bubble stability and easy extrusion
- Extremely high MD and TD tensile strength even at fast line speeds
- Raw material supply reliability and quality consistency
For brand owners
- Cost saving potential through the downgauging of courier bag films
- Packaging innovation due to extreme performance at lower thickness
- Less plastic material use in response to industry policy
For logistic delivery service providers

Inflatable cushion bags are commonly used for protective packaging — filling voids, and cushioning fragile goods within a box. These bags help to reduce the friction and risks associated with impact and vibration during the transportation and delivery process. Air tube bags are made of PE/PA co-extrusion film, typically used in Asia Pacific.
Across the supply chain, performance PE polymer - solutions offer downgauging opportunities while delivering performance and value. Formulations can be tailored to derive targeted benefits.
Compared to 50µm reference, ExxonMobil 45µm downgauge solution provides:
- Comparable burst pressure and tensile strength at 10% downgauge
- Improved puncture, dart and MD tear performance
- Balanced film toughness and burst pressure
- Cost saving opportunity
