This sustainable solution, which uses up to 37 percent recycled PE heavy duty sack film with virgin performance PE polymers from ExxonMobil, maintains the performance properties of new heavy duty sacks \u2015 even when fourth-cycle recycled PE heavy duty sacks are included in the formulation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When you are using recycled post-consumer PE, quality of the material is always an issue,\u201d said Ralf Wiechmann, Product Manager Blown Film, Reifenh\u00e4user. \u201cWhen you want to use high amounts of recycled material in demanding applications, you cannot accept any quality. The solution for this is tracing of qualified film structures. These are identified before recycling and then recycled in the appropriate batch. Only then is this batch used to make new heavy duty sacks, which closes the packaging loop. Understanding the original recipe helps redesign the formulation with recycled PE to deliver the required quality.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWorking together with Reifenh\u00e4user has allowed the combination of our polymer and converting expertise to deliver high-performance heavy duty sacks that include multi-cycle recycled polyethylene,\u201d said David Hergenrether, ExxonMobil Chemical vice president, polyethylene. \u201cThis sustainable solution clearly demonstrates the benefits of collaboration to create differentiated solutions that meet the needs of the value chain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Combining recycled PE from heavy duty sacks with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exxonmobilchemical.com\/en\/products\/polyethylene\/performance-pe-polymers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Exceed\u2122 XP<\/a> performance PE and ExxonMobil\u2122 HDPE from ExxonMobil maintains the package integrity of the new heavy duty sacks, even when multi-cycle recycled PE is used. These formulations with the tracking technology can be tailored to deliver defined properties that meet the needs of specific heavy duty sack applications. To date, tests prove that the solution is well-suited for heavy duty sacks which hold semi-dry or dry goods. Exceed\u2122 XP performance PE polymers allow the properties of the film to be retained and deliver high-efficiency processing, even when recycled content is added to the formulation.<\/p>\n<p>The Reifenh\u00e4user EVO 5-layer blown film converting technology lowers melt temperatures by as much as 20\u00b0C which, combined with a compact die head, allows for increased processability. The \u201ctake-off\u201d system lowers the risk of thick film blocking and edge breakage.<\/p>\n<p>For example, a 5-layer heavy duty sack film, including recycled PE, combines step-out stiffness-toughness and enhanced sealing properties, while delivering excellent machinability and processability. The formulation contains recycled PE in the core and Exceed XP in the skin-layers, which allows the properties of the film to be retained, while delivering high-efficiency processing, even when recycled content is added to the formulation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ExxonMobil and Reifenh\u00e4user have collaborated to make heavy duty sacks using multi-cycle recycled polyethylene from prior heavy duty sacks&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14913,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24,16],"tags":[],"series":[],"class_list":["post-17040","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-plas-tv-meldungen-auf-der-startseite-unterhalb-slider","category-plast-tv-textmeldungen"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17040","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=17040"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17040\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17041,"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17040\/revisions\/17041"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/14913"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=17040"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=17040"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=17040"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fseries&post=17040"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
