Product Description
Vistamaxx 3020FL propylene-based elastomer is an olefinic elastomer primarily composed of isotactic propylene repeat units with random ethylene distribution. It is produced using ExxonMobil Chemical's EXXPOL™ Catalyst Technology. The 'FL' designates this is a high purity grade with very low gel content, making it suitable for premium and performance film and molding applications.

Additional Information
All physical properties were measured on specimens cut from compression molded plaques per ASTM D 4703, Procedure A, Type I and conditioned at 23°C (73°F) for a minimum of 40 hours per ASTM D 618 prior to testing. All stress/strain tests used specimens cut with a Type C die and tested with a grip separation of 25 mm (1") and a crosshead speed of 20 in/min. Tensile set was determined from a specimen held at 100% strain for 10 minutes and allowed to rest for 10 minutes.
