New resin provides benefits for nonwovens

ExxonMobil Chemical says that ExxonMobil PP 3885E1 resin can improve productivity, reduce waste caused by fabric defects, increase line capacity, and change line configuration while maintaining fabric properties.

According to ExxonMobil Chemical, the molecular design of ExxonMobil PP 3885E1 resin provides efficient processing on the latest generation of spunbond equipment. Spunbond production can be increased by more than 15% without increasing the amount of hard-spot fabric defects. Compared with conventional PP, ExxonMobil PP 3885E1 resin produces finer fibres, which can provide better fabric uniformity.

The company adds that Vistamaxx speciality elastomers offer good elasticity, toughness, the ability to bond easily with other materials for advanced processing and design flexibility.
