| The success of Exact plastomers derives from their outstanding attributes and performance characteristics:
- Unrivalled sealing and hot-tack properties even at low temperatures and for contaminated seal areas
- High clarity and very low gel content
- Flexibility comparable to flexible PVC, EPDM and other elastomers
- Toughness and impact strength down to low temperatures
- Excellent flex fatigue
- Efficient silane, peroxide or e-beam crosslinkability
- High filler acceptance and easy dispersion
These characteristics go together with ease of conversion through:
- Melting and flow properties which suit state-of-the-art blown or cast film lines, but also extrusion, moulding and even calendaring equipment
- Availability in the form of free flowing pellets facilitating on-line blending or continuous compounding
This has resulted in Exact plastomers adding value in a wide range of applications across many conversion techniques.
For many applications, Exact plastomers have been demonstrated to exceed the requirements. As a result they are used extensively as blend partner, offering the opportunity to tailor the performance to cost balance of finished articles.
Some telling examples of applications and end-uses are illustrated below.
