ExxonMobil Partners with Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages to Create More Efficient Packaging Solution

Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages (HCCB) and FilmTec LLP have partnered with ExxonMobil to develop a downgauged cast stretch film solution.

The new material, which uses ExxonMobil's high-performance Exceed Tough m3812, Exceed m3518, and Exceed Flow m1716 resins, has reduced plastic packaging thickness by 26% without compromising mechanical performance.

The downgauged film achieved a stretch ratio of over 300%, compared to a conventional 23µm film's 200%, resulting in an estimated 40% reduction in total material consumption per pallet.
