Key application areas
Compounding
Use Vistamaxx elastomers to enhance polypropylene compounds by adding flexibility, increasing impact strength down to -20°C (-4°F) and improving adhesion. They also reduce or eliminate stress whitening while maintaining clarity. Vistamaxx elastomers accept exceptionally high filler loadings, providing low-cost compounds with high-quality dispersion and retained flexibility.
Films
Rely on Vistamaxx elastomers for a wide range of film, coating and lamination applications. They offer an exceptional combination of elasticity, flexibility, adhesion (cling/stickiness) and toughness. They are compatible with polypropylene and polyethylene.
Nonwovens
Formulate with Vistamaxx elastomers for a cost-effective solution to improve the fit and comfort of disposable hygiene articles such as diapers, adult incontinence products and feminine hygiene products. They also excel in medical drapes and gowns and a variety of consumer/industrial applications.
