Why use Vistamaxx

Vistamaxx™ propylene-based elastomers enable innovation by providing opportunities for compounders, converters, OEMs and resin manufacturers to add value in different ways. They can enhance the properties of polyolefin blends and multi-layer structures, provide new cost solutions, simplify processing or improve sustainability.

Some of the ways Vistamaxx propylene-based elastomers can help you innovate include:

Balance of enhanced, tailored properties

• Improved impact strength
• Improved durability, aesthetics and versatility when blended with polypropylene
• Outstanding flexibility
• Improved ambient to low-temperature impact resistance 
• Greater transparency
• Reduced stress whitening
• Improved comfort touch
• Improved mechanical compound properties when replacing oil
• Excellent adhesive properties
• Lightweight yet durable 

Total cost solution

• Reduced compound costs
• High filler and oil loading for lower costs
• Better performance and lower cost when blended with SEBS
• Can be dry-blended at processing equipment; no need for compounding 

Operational simplification

• Ease of processing by using existing processing equipment without modification
• Excellent alternative to other polymers, including PIB, SIS and PVC
• FDA- and EU-approved for food contact applications; no prequalification required 

Enabling sustainability

• Suitable alternative to creative, lighter-weight parts
• Processable at lower temperatures (energy savings)
