The package consists of a formed bottom web and a Machine Direction Oriented (MDO) PE lid film.<br \/>\nThe bottom web, produced using ExxonMobil\u2019s high-performance resins, including Exceed\u2122 XP performance PE and Exact\u2122 plastomer, incorporates a special EVAL\u2122 EVOH resin for thermoforming. The films, crafted on an advanced Alpine 9-layer barrier line, boast exceptional toughness, formability, and high barrier properties.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" dir=\"ltr\">Thermoforming technology and process<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The package\u2019s creation involved state-of-the-art technology, combining ExxonMobil\u2019s best-in-class resins with Alpine\u2019s advanced film production processes.<br \/>\nThe MDO technology used in the film production ensures outstanding processability and optimised flatness, contributing to the overall quality of the package.<br \/>\nThe package was formed and filled on a MULTIVAC R245 machine, achieving industry-standard process conditions.<br \/>\nThe optimised thermoforming trial conditions on the R245 Multivac line resulted in maximum line speeds of over 11 cycles per minute, demonstrating the practical viability of this new packaging design.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-performance-evaluation-and-results\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" dir=\"ltr\">Performance evaluation and results<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">A comprehensive set of tests was conducted to assess the performance of the thermoformed web and lid film.<br \/>\nNotably, the combination of ExxonMobil performance PE and EVAL\u2122 EVOH resins delivered outstanding package integrity, with puncture values comparable to those of traditional thermoformed films containing polyamide (PA).<br \/>\nThe lid film, made from MDO PE\/\/ PE laminate, exhibited excellent machinability on the MULTIVAC R245 forming and filling machine.<br \/>\nUnder optimised thermoforming trial conditions, the new design achieved remarkable results, including maximum line speeds and exceptional corner thickness maintenance.<br \/>\nIn a nutshell, this innovative packaging solution, comprising 94-95% PE, sets a new standard in sustainability without compromising package integrity, optics, or machinability.<br \/>\nThe successful collaboration between ExxonMobil and its partners highlights a positive stride toward more environmentally friendly and functional packaging options in the market.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong><em>packaging-gateway<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iranpolymer\/Baspar\u00a0 in a significant breakthrough for the packaging industry, ExxonMobil, in collaboration with industry partners, has successfully developed a fully recyclable thermoformed package with a remarkable 95% PE content.
