Press release submitted on behalf of ExxonMobil.

ExxonMobil, Spring, Texas, one of the largest international energy companies that uses technology and innovation to help meet the world’s growing energy needs, and Clipsico Pack, Alexandria, Egypt, a leading stretch film manufacturer, have partnered to enhance the performance, efficiency and cost-effectiveness of hand wrap film using ExxonMobil Signature Polymers. By collaborating closely, the two companies developed a new formulation using Exceed™ Flow m 1716 resin, part of the ExxonMobil Signature Polymers portfolio, enabling Clipsico Pack to better compete in the demanding high-tenacity stretch film segment.

Through this partnership, Clipsico Pack was able to accelerate production line speeds, reduce dependency on higher-cost materials and improve key film properties such as holding force, tear resistance and break time. The result is a thinner, stronger hand wrap film that performs more reliably during pallet transport while driving significant operational savings.

Key results include:

• A 70% increase in production capacity, compared to the market reference, allowing for higher line speeds on extrusion lines.
• Up to 5% higher wind force at 50% and 100% pre-stretch, improving the performance of the stretch film during wrapping.
• A 6% increase in tear resistance at 100% pre-stretch, enhancing the film’s durability and load stability.
• A significant increase in break time, with a 90% improvement at 100% pre-stretch, contributing to enhanced film handling and operational efficiency.

These results demonstrate the powerful impact of ExxonMobil’s Signature Polymers in advancing Clipsico Pack’s capabilities and competitiveness in the high-tenacity stretch film market.
