In this article Fournier Polymers presents ExxonMobil Chemical offer for compounding. Vistamaxx™ performance polymers are one of the best ExxonMobil Chemical solutions for compounding, due to its multiple possibilities.

Vistamaxx™ performance polymers allow the development of innovative polyolefin blends and multi-layer structures for new products and applications, which help to decrease total costs and fulfil processing efficiencies.
Applications
Compounding for consumer products
Vistamaxx™ performance polymers offer a large range of possibilities for consumer products due to the fact that they generate a balanced set of properties to suit each application requirements and help deliver durable end-products with the right feel and aesthetics.
Groups of applications | Applications and benefits | Product solutions |
---|---|---|
Compounding for consumer products | Improved impact strength of RCP or hPP for less breakage Balanced flexibility and durability Maintenance of clarity of RCP or hPP blends for good aesthetics Simplified processing as it blends easily with polypropylene and other polymers Approved for food packaging | Vistamaxx™ performance polymers HDPE ExxonMobil™ PP |
Compounding for food and beverage containers
Vistamaxx™ performance polymers in combination with polypropilene, offer a cost-effective packaging solution excellent for airtight seals, due to its capability to keep food fresh and protect aromas.
Groups of applications | Applications and benefits | Product solutions |

Compounding for food and beverage containers | Improved impact strength Enhanced flexibility Maintenance of clarity No changes to existing equipment Approved for food packaging Process efficiencies | Vistamaxx™ performance polymers HDPE ExxonMobil™ PP |
Compounding for industrial products
Vistamaxx™ performance polymers provide lots of possibilities to achieve long-lasting products that are easy to install and meet industry tough performance specifications. Due to its long-term performance Vistamaxx™ performance polymers are an exceptional solution for industrial applications.
Groups of applications | Applications and benefits | Product solutions |
---|---|---|
Compounding for industrial products | Toughness for long lasting products Outstanding flexibility, making products easy to install Excellent sealing properties for durability and long life Anti-skid properties for safe installation High filler loading capability for low total cost solutions | Vistamaxx™ performance polymers HDPE ExxonMobil™ PP |
Masterbatch
Vistamaxx™ performance polymers can help to simplify manufacturing processes and improve compound quality. They allow to increase filler loading without sacrifying compound performance and also provide opportunities to reduce costs in comparison to standard reference masterbatches (such as those based on high density polyethylene).

Groups of applications | Applications and benefits | Product solutions |
---|---|---|
Masterbatch | Higher filler loading for cost savings Improved pigment dispersion Viscosity modification Improved impact strength Reduced stress whitening Improved stress crack resistance Improved part flexibility | Vistamaxx™ performance polymers HDPE ExxonMobil™ PP |
Compounding for rigid packaging
ExxonMobil Chemical Vistamaxx™ performance polymers are an exceptional solution for rigid packaging, as they help to improve impact strength and clarity (creating durable and appealing products). These products can also help to solve frequent formulation challenges, when creating compounds for clear plastic, storage cases or clear box covers.
Groups of applications | Applications and benefits | Product solutions |
