Performance Features of ExxonMobil mLLDPE

Excellent Mechanical Strength. Exceed™ mLLDPE provides high tensile strength, excellent impact resistance, and strong puncture and tear resistance. Films remain durable even at reduced thickness. This allows effective downgauging without compromising key performance.
Superior Sealing Performance. The material features a low seal initiation temperature and a wide sealing window. It also provides excellent hot tack strength. These properties support high-speed packaging operations and help maintain strong, reliable seals.
Excellent Optical Properties. Films offer high transparency, excellent gloss, and low haze. The clear appearance improves product visibility and creates a more attractive package. This makes the material suitable for premium retail and consumer packaging.
Stable Processing Performance. Consistent melt strength supports stable processing. During blown film extrusion, it provides excellent bubble stability and smooth operation. The wide processing window offers greater flexibility for converters. Specialized Exceed™ Flow grades can further enhance extrusion efficiency and output.
Chemical and Environmental Resistance. The resin provides excellent resistance to moisture and chemicals. It also offers strong resistance to environmental stress cracking (ESCR). These properties support reliable performance in demanding environments and contribute to long service life.
Excellent Downgauging Capability. One of its key advantages is the ability to produce thinner films while maintaining mechanical performance. This reduces raw material consumption and can lower transportation costs. It also helps minimize packaging waste, improving overall material efficiency and supporting more sustainable packaging solutions.

How to Select the Right Exceed™ Grade?

Different Exceed™ grades are designed to address different film-making requirements. 1018 series grades are suitable for general high-performance film applications, while 2018 series grades are often selected when toughness and sealing performance are important. For applications requiring higher melt flow and easier processing, 2012RA or 3518CB can be considered.

For food packaging, heavy-duty bags, agricultural films, stretch films, and multilayer structures, the appropriate grade should be selected according to the required MFR, film thickness, sealing temperature, mechanical strength, and processing conditions.
