3Q22 review of the worldwide polyethylene industry in 2022
Improving global logistics and continued volatile feed contribute to dynamic market environment
Global logistics are showing early signs of recovery from record lows. Schedule reliability and shipping costs have improved, though Atlantic Basin ports congestion persists.

Schedule reliability measured by % on-time delivery
The global energy markets remain undersupplied, keeping costs elevated and unsettled. Weather events and geopolitical uncertainly create additional volatility risk to PE feed costs.

China poised for macroeconomic recovery following COVID-19 reopening
Logistics in China have rebounded toward 1H22 levels. Congestion in ports has subsided, and overland trucking volumes in the most affected areas are recovering.

ExxonMobil’s newly commercialized Exceed™ S performance PE now available globally
Exceed S performance PE resins deliver industry leading combinations of stiffness and toughness while being easy to process. Utilizing the company’s latest innovations in polymer science, the new PE platform provides opportunities to reduce the complexity of film formulations and designs while improving film performance, conversion efficiency, and packaging durability. Ideal for films used in food, industrial and agricultural applications, Exceed S resins can also help designers do more with less, increase recycled resin content, and design for recyclability.

At the forefront of the stiffness/toughness boundary and offering better melt strength and higher output than current mLLDPE resins, Exceed S PE resins enable film designers and engineers to rethink film design for simpler solutions. Now, LDPE and HDPE can either be eliminated or amounts reduced, depending on the needs of the application.
Significant improvements in durability and toughness have been realized in…
Consumer and institutional packaging, such as liquid-filled coex pillows and solid-filled full-PE laminates
  • 12% higher puncture
  • 1.7x increase in bag drop survival
  • No loss of stiffness
  • 41% increase in dart drop
  • 5x increase in bag drop survival
  • No loss of stiffness
Industrial and agricultural applications, such as heavy duty sacks for resins & fertilizer, silo bags
  • 50% reduction in HDPE used
  • 70% increase in MD tear
  • Outstanding dart and stiffness
  • 22% less creep
  • 25% increase in MD tear
  • 26% increase in needle puncture
3 grades are available for purchase everywhere
