ExxonMobil (Baytown, Texas / USA; www.exxonmobil.com) has announced the launched “Paxon SP5504”, a unimodal HDPE resin for blow-moulded packaging. The new grade is said to improve environmental stress cracking resistance without compromising other material properties, such as stiffness, impact and top load performance, or processability.
Paxon SP5504 fills a gap between ExxonMobil’s unimodal and bimodal HDPE grades, the company noted. It can be used as a drop-in solution to unimodal HDPE but delivers a better balance of properties, said James Stern, HDPE business development manager, North America & EMEAF.
The material suits multi-layer packaging applications for household or industrial chemicals. The company added that converters using the resin can increase the amount of post-consumer recyclate in the core layer without significantly compromising the properties of the finished product.
