Features and Advantages of Vistamaxx™ 3000

Outstanding Elasticity and Softness

  • POE Vistamaxx 3000 has low hardness and excellent flexibility, making it ideal for soft-touch and elastic products.
  • Excellent Transparency and Surface Appearance
    With good clarity and gloss, the resin is widely used in transparent or light-colored applications such as packaging and consumer goods.

High Compatibility. It exhibits excellent compatibility with polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), and other polyolefins, allowing for performance tuning in blends and compounds.

Good Processing Performance. ExxonMobil Vistamaxx™ 3000 is suitable for multiple processing methods, including injection molding, extrusion, blown film, and compounding. It offers favorable melt flow properties for efficient production.

Enhanced Toughness and Impact Strength. It can significantly improve impact resistance and flexibility when blended with PP or PE, even at low temperatures.

Low Odor and Low VOC. Designed for consumer and hygiene applications where odor and emissions are critical.

Main Applications

  • Flexible Packaging Films – Improves sealability, flexibility, and puncture resistance in multilayer film structures.
  • Injection Molded Soft-Touch Products – Used in household products, grips, and other tactile-enhancing components.
  • Modifier for PP and PE – Enhances flexibility, toughness, or clarity in polypropylene or polyethylene-based formulations.
  • Hygiene and Medical Goods – Applied in nonwoven fabrics, stretch films, and elastic components for diapers and medical items.
  • Wire & Cable Compounds – Serves as a soft, flexible additive in insulation and jacketing materials.
  • Automotive Interiors – Enhances softness and durability in TPO compounds for dashboards, trims, and skins.

Packaging and Storage

  • Packaging: 25 kg plastic-lined kraft bags or bulk packaging.
  • Storage: Store in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated environment. Avoid direct sunlight and heat.
  • Shelf Life: Indefinite if properly stored; avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures to prevent material degradation.
