ENABLE 2005ME

EXXONMOBIL™ ENABLE™ 2005ME is a cutting-edge, high-performance metallocene Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (mLLDPE) resin, expertly manufactured by ExxonMobil Chemical. This hexene copolymer represents the pinnacle of film technology, designed to deliver an unparalleled combination of superior toughness, exceptional optical properties, and outstanding sealing performance, making it the premier choice for demanding flexible packaging and specialty film applications.

Leveraging ExxonMobil’s proprietary EXXPOL™ metallocene catalyst technology, ENABLE™ 2005ME enables manufacturers to achieve higher output, produce thinner films, and create products with enhanced visual appeal and integrity. Its optimized rheology ensures excellent processability across a wide range of film lines, from blown to cast.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Unrivaled Toughness & Puncture Resistance: Offers a significant leap in dart impact, tear, and puncture resistance compared to conventional LLDPEs, ensuring maximum film integrity and product protection.
• Superior Optical Properties: Delivers outstanding clarity and high gloss, elevating the visual appeal of packaged goods and providing excellent product visibility.
• Exceptional Sealing Performance: Characterized by a broad and low sealing window, robust hot tack, and high seal strength, optimizing packaging line efficiency and ensuring secure, reliable seals.
• Enhanced Processability: Engineered for excellent bubble stability in blown film and smooth processing in cast film. Its rheology allows for higher output rates, reduced energy consumption, and superior drawdown capabilities, leading to thinner, stronger films.
• Versatile Application Profile: Highly adaptable for a wide range of film types, often enabling significant downgauging without compromising performance, thereby reducing material consumption and costs.
• Low Gel Count: Contributes to cleaner, more consistent films with fewer defects, enhancing overall film quality.

Typical Applications:

EXXONMOBIL™ ENABLE™ 2005ME is highly recommended for high-performance film extrusion processes in diverse sectors, particularly where advanced properties and efficiency are paramount:

• Premium Packaging Films: For high-value food items (e.g., frozen foods, fresh produce), consumer goods, and other applications requiring superior optics and protection.
• Lamination Films: As a high-performance sealant or core layer in multi-layer flexible packaging structures.
• Heavy-Duty Bags: Including industrial liners, refuse bags, and large format bags demanding ultimate strength and tear resistance.
• Stretch Hood Film: For advanced pallet wrapping solutions requiring high elasticity and holding force.
• Form-Fill-Seal (FFS) Packaging: Optimized for high-speed automated packaging lines where seal integrity and consistency are critical.
• Agricultural Films: Such as greenhouse films, silage wrap, and other demanding agricultural applications.

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): ~2.0 g/10 min (ASTM D1238)
• Density: ~0.920 g/cm³ (ASTM D1505)
• Tensile Strength @ Yield (MD/TD): ~9 / 8 MPa (ASTM D882)
• Tensile Strength @ Break (MD/TD): ~35 / 30 MPa (ASTM D882)
• Elongation @ Break (MD/TD): >600 / >700 % (ASTM D882)
• Dart Drop Impact Strength (F50): >800 g (ASTM D1709, Method A)

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™ 2005ME 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.
