ExxonMobil will focus on its polymer resolutions and modern technological expansions at K 2025 in Düsseldorf, Germany, from October 8 to 15. We express to the company the profits of the resources to be showcased at the world’s largest plastic and rubber display.

The worldwide energy giant articulates that it will bring invention samples and film rolls to the display, comprising its monomaterial PE solutions planned for recyclability, explanations including post-consumer recycled (PCR) content, and the Exxtend technology for progressive recycling.

The corporation will also discuss and show its resolutions for rotomolding, yogurt cups, hydraulic oils, greases, and sphere lubricants.

“As demand for amplified recycled content in packaging grows, PCR supplies existing challenges because of degradation in properties that can disturb performance and processability,” a spokesperson for ExxonMobil tells Packaging Insights.

“ExxonMobil’s Signature Polymers can support in enhancing final film performance, educating mechanical properties to balance differences in PCR quality and maintain performance equivalent to virgin polymers.”

Mechanical recyclers and waste managers offer PCR content, which is merged with performance-boosting ExxonMobil Signature Polymers to compensate for fluctuations in PCR content quality, the spokesperson explains.

“Association across the value chain is important, mainly in considerate the source, composition, and manufacturing process of PCR resources.”

ExxonMobil’s Signature Polymers from PCR content are well-matched for integrating into several applications, the spokesperson adds. “These focused grades provide potential profits such as flowability, processability, tear circulation resistance, consistency, homogenization, high density, and holding force.” ExxonMobil declares that fine-tuning properties can lessen some of the trials linked with PCR integration. Polymer grades permit PCR to be treated directly on the swelling line, streamlining production associated with compounded resources and offering greater flexibility in control and dosing.”

“With the right choice of premium PCR and ExxonMobil Signature Polymers, converters can attain performance levels similar to virgin films while enhancing film structure to suit their precise processing requirements.”
