With Elevast™ technology, physical properties Polyolefin systems treated with Elevast™
can be extended beyond existing grades and Polymer Modifiers benefit from lower Tg and
tuned between existing grades. high plasticization efficiency.
New from ExxonMobil Chemical, Elevast™ Polymer Modifiers elevate the
possibilities of plastics innovation through improved polymer performance
and processing advantages.

Launch your next great idea

with Elevast Polymer Modifiers.
™

Tougher hard plastics. More elastic soft plastics. Novel balances of

properties. Improved processing. The new Elevast™ platform of
polymer modifiers raises the bar on what is possible, practical
and affordable in plastics. Improve existing products by
enhancing their performance range. Explore new product
ideas that may be currently grounded by conventional
polymer technology.

Elevate Your Performance

Applicable across a broad array of polymer systems,
Elevast™ technology can enhance the performance
of polymers in both hot and cold applications.
Polymers treated with Elevast™ modifiers may
benefit from
• Greater flexibility
• More durability
• Enhanced softness
• Increased elasticity
• Optical improvements
• Reduced processing-derived
orientation effects
• New material substitution
opportunities

Elevast™ Polymer Modifiers are easy to use. Some performance benefits

can be simply dialed in over a continuum, offering new possibilities to
capture supply chain efficiencies.

Improve Polymer Processing

By lowering melt viscosity, Elevast™Polymer Modifiers offer improved
flow characteristics and potential processing advantages. These advantages
include reduced energy consumption plus faster cycle times and line speeds.
In fact, the addition of Elevast™ Polymer Modifiers may be warranted by
processing benefits alone.

Open New Horizons

Backed by advanced science and unparalleled performance, Elevast™
technology may be precisely the launching pad your next great idea needs.
