ExxonMobil Chemical today introduced a line of compounded polypropylene for the automotive industry. ExxonMobil Performance Polyolefins are available from ExxonMobil Chemical facilities in North America, Europe and Asia.
"ExxonMobil Chemical has the technology and manufacturing capability to supply a global grade slate of custom-compounded polyolefins to automotive customers," said Dick Grabham, vice president of the company's Global Polypropylene Business. "Our ongoing investment in technology and compounding expertise highlights our commitment to the global automotive market."
Work to certify ExxonMobil Performance Polyolefin grades to various automotive specifications is currently underway. These products complement ExxonMobil Chemical's neat and impact copolymer polypropylenes to provide customers with a complete line of products for automotive interior, exterior, and under hood applications.
Our Exxpol Enhance(TM) polypropylene and premium reactor thermoplastic polyolefins (TPOs) are used for bumper fascias, step pads, and pillar trim for head impact. Our polypropylene can be found in other applications, such as door and quarter-panel trim, lift-gate trim, consoles, fender liners, and fan shrouds.
