Plastomers  

Plastomers are ethylene alpha olefin copolymers that bridge the gap between elastomers and plastics. With rubber-like properties and the processability of plastic, they are used as polymer modifiers to provide unique properties in flexible packaging, molded and extruded products, and foamed compounds.

Benefits

  • Flexible packaging – enhanced toughness, clarity and sealing performance
  • Molded and extruded products – improved impact strength and flexibility
  • Foamed compounds – added durability to lightweight shoe midsoles
