This collaboration allowed Malpack to develop a stretch film with exceptional tenacity, holding force, and stability at any pre-stretch level, while maintaining production efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>Exceed\u2122 Flow m 1716 metallocene polyethylene, part of the ExxonMobil Signature Polymers portfolio, was central to this partnership. Incorporated as a discrete layer in a nine-layer film structure, the resin eliminated the need for blending \u2013 simplifying operations and delivering excellent processing performance, even on wide (4.5-meter) extrusion lines.<\/p>\n<h4>Key performance advantages of the new stretch film include:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Strong holding force and consistent load stability across all pre-stretch levels, helping ensure safe, secure pallet containment during transport and storage.<\/li>\n<li>Efficient processing on wide lines, with uniform gauge control, reduced motor load, and stable throughput that supports large-scale film production.<\/li>\n<li>High toughness and downgauging potential, enabling thinner film designs that maintain performance while using less material \u2013 contributing to cost savings goals.<\/li>\n<li>Improved film clarity and puncture resistance, offering enhanced barcode readability, better shelf presentation, and protection for sharp or irregular loads.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The collaboration between ExxonMobil and Malpack demonstrates how the right material selection can streamline production while unlocking new levels of film performance.<\/p>\n<p>To check out the full case study, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exxonmobilchemical.com\/en\/resources\/library\/library-detail\/111992\/malpack_pps_case_study_en\" id=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.packagingstrategies.com\/articles\/105584-malpack-enlists-exxonmobil-to-develop-power-pre-stretch-film\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ExxonMobil, one of the largest publicly traded international energy companies, uses technology and innovation to help meet the world&#8217;s growing energy needs.
