Vistamaxx™ performance polymers offer portfolio solutions to meet different market requirements in elastic hygiene film

Elastic hygiene film Application

• Elastic film used in personal care products such as

baby diapers, training pants, and adult incontinence

Key points

• An innovative source of elasticity

• Ability to tailor your desired level of stretch

and elasticity

• Lower formulation costs • Replacing higher priced styrenic block copolymers

(SBCs) and thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs)

enables converters to benefit from lower formulation

costs

• Lower processing costs • Exhibiting excellent adhesion to polypropylene,

Vistamaxx performance polymers can be directly

laminated to the nonwoven. This simplifies process

design, provides production efficiencies, and potentially

lowers total system cost

Adding Vistamaxx™ performance polymers allows higher filler loading while maintaining required tenacity level of PP raffia tapes

PP raffia tapes Application

• Extruded PP film, slit and woven to produce sacks,

FIBCs, geotextiles, liners…

Key points

• Improved tenacity and higher elongation• Because of the inherent elongation property of

Vistamaxx performance polymers, tapes in which they

are used can be stretched more, yielding higher tenacity

• Less tape breakage

• Downgauging up to 20%

• Increased loading of antifibrilation masterbatch

(AFMB)• Vistamaxx polymers based AFMB helps to maintain the

elongation and tenacity while reducing tape breakage,

allowing producers to use higher percentages of AFMB

to reduce cost
