ExxonMobil has developed a novel high density polyethylene (HDPE) grade, ExxonMobil™ HD7165L, for Machine Direction Oriented (MDO) PE film applications. Designed for recyclability*, HD7165L can help converters create mono-material laminates to replace multi-material laminate structures which can be difficult to mechanically recycle.
Offering excellent optical properties and outstanding mechanical properties, ExxonMobil™ HD7165L is well suited to help enable mono-material laminated packaging that can be used to package products like nuts, crackers, condiments, granola bars, and potato chips.
“The development of new HD7165L has been driven by market demand from brand owners and processors looking to develop all-PE packaging which, in turn, has created a need for print webs made of blown MDO-PE films,” said Nilesh Savargaonkar Principal Customer and Application Development Engineer, ExxonMobil.
ExxonMobil™ HD7165L can help enable converters to produce blown MDOPE films with 60-70 percent HDPE for enhanced stiffness and high heat resistance**. High output rates in excess of 400kg/hr are possible, while bubble stability is maintained.
