ENABLE 2703MC

EXXONMOBIL™ ENABLE™ 2703MC is an advanced, high-flow metallocene Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (mLLDPE) resin, expertly manufactured by ExxonMobil Chemical. This hexene copolymer is specifically engineered to deliver an exceptional balance of mechanical strength, superior optical properties, and outstanding processability, making it a prime choice for high-speed flexible packaging and specialty film applications requiring efficiency and premium film characteristics.

Leveraging ExxonMobil’s proprietary EXXPOL™ metallocene catalyst technology, ENABLE™ 2703MC offers an optimized rheology that facilitates excellent melt flow and bubble stability in blown film, translating to higher output rates and the capability to produce very thin, yet robust, films. This leads to enhanced productivity and material efficiency in your manufacturing operations.

Key Features & Benefits:

• High Flow & Enhanced Processability: With an optimized Melt Index, ENABLE™ 2703MC offers superior processability, enabling higher line speeds, easier extrusion, and excellent bubble stability, particularly beneficial for thin-gauge films and complex film structures.
• Outstanding Toughness & Puncture Resistance: Delivers robust dart impact, tear, and puncture resistance, ensuring maximum film integrity and reliable product protection.
• Superior Optical Properties: Provides excellent clarity and high gloss, contributing to premium visual appeal and optimal product presentation.
• Exceptional Sealing Performance: Characterized by a broad and low sealing window, robust hot tack, and high seal strength, crucial for efficient packaging line operations and secure package integrity.
• Excellent Drawdown Capability: Allows for significant downgauging, enabling the production of very thin films without compromising strength, leading to substantial material savings and reduced environmental impact.
• Low Gel Count: Contributes to cleaner, more consistent films with fewer defects, enhancing overall film quality.

Typical Applications:

EXXONMOBIL™ ENABLE™ 2703MC is highly recommended for high-performance film extrusion processes in diverse sectors, particularly where high efficiency, advanced properties, and thin gauges are desired:

• Premium Food & Consumer Packaging Films: For high-value goods, fresh produce, frozen foods, and other applications demanding superior optics and protection.
• Lamination & Sealant Films: As a high-performance sealant or core layer in multi-layer flexible packaging structures, especially where a higher flow is beneficial for complex co-extrusion.
• Very Thin Gauge Films: For applications requiring lightweight yet strong and tough film solutions.
• High-Speed Form-Fill-Seal (FFS) Packaging: Optimized for automated packaging lines where seal integrity, consistency, and rapid processing are critical.
• Heavy-Duty Bags: Including industrial liners, refuse bags, and large format bags that require high strength and tear resistance.
• Agricultural Films: Such as greenhouse films and silage wrap, benefiting from enhanced strength and durability.

Typical Properties (Representative Values):

Please note that specific values may vary slightly depending on the exact production batch and testing conditions. Always refer to the official Technical Data Sheet (TDS) from ExxonMobil Chemical for the most accurate and up-to-date information.

• Melt Index (MI) (190°C / 2.16 kg): ~2.7 g/10 min (ASTM D1238)
• Density: ~0.927 g/cm³ (ASTM D1505)
• Tensile Strength @ Yield (MD/TD): ~10 / 9 MPa (ASTM D882)
• Tensile Strength @ Break (MD/TD): ~35 / 30 MPa (ASTM D882)
• Elongation @ Break (MD/TD): >500 / >600 % (ASTM D882)

Processing Guidelines (Film Extrusion – General):

• Drying: Generally not required for mLLDPE, but proper storage to prevent moisture pick-up is recommended.
• Melt Temperature: 190 – 220 °C (often allows for lower processing temperatures than conventional LLDPE, optimize based on extruder type, die design, and desired film properties).
• Die Gap: Typically 0.8 – 1.2 mm for blown film, adjust for specific needs.
• Blow-Up Ratio (BUR): 2.0 – 3.0:1 (for blown film, optimize for balanced properties).
• Cooling: Ensure efficient cooling for optimal film properties and clarity.

Packaging & Storage:

EXXONMOBIL™ ENABLE™ 2703MC is typically supplied in 25 kg bags or bulk containers. For optimal product quality and to prevent contamination, store in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep packaging sealed until ready for use.
