This new ExxonMobil foamable polypropylene packaging has been announced by the brand as a product for high-volume applications such as. food and beverage, building products, industrial packaging and even automotive parts. The product, referred to as Achieve Advanced PP6302E1, has a high melt strength (HMS) grape that will improve rigidity by up to 30% when compared to standard HM PP foam. This positions the material as being ideal for businesses that require a better option for packaging in the face of an ever-changing marketplace.
Global Market Development Manager for ExxonMobil Polypropylene Olivier Lorge spoke on the new ExxonMobil foamable polypropylene packaging saying, "Historically, foam applications have been dominated by amorphous polymers such as PS, PU and PVC. Foamed PP is a relatively recent advancement having been introduced only about 20 years ago, but it never gained much commercial traction. Customers can now challenge reality and rethink what’s possible for lightweight foamed PP parts in high volume applications because of the value-in-use delivered by our new Achieve Advanced PP6302E1. The commercial potential of foamable PP can now be pursued and fully realized."
