"The Choice is Clear: Escorez 5000"
For more information, email escorezcustomerservice@exxonmobil.com
ExxonMobil Chemical is a major worldwide supplier of hydrocarbon tackifier resins to the adhesives industry. Escorez hydrocarbon resins are amorphous, glassy, low molecular weight hydrocarbon polymers. They have tailored molecular weight distributions designed to fit specific application requirements.
Hot Melt Adhesive formulators can select the right polymer from a broad family of ethylene copolymers tailored for adhesive applications including EscoreneTM EVA copolymers, as well as OptemaTM EMA(ethylene methyl acrylate), EnableTM ENBA (ethylene n-butyl acrylate), and EscorTM acid terpolymers. ExxonMobil Chemical also markets VectorTM styrenic block copolymers for pressure sensitive adhesives.
In addition to our broad product portfolio, we provide:
Excellent Product Quality and Consistency
ExxonMobil Chemical´s global manufacturing presence, based on state-of-the-art process technology, feedstock integration and a relentless drive for product quality provides a reliable supply of high performance products.
Integrated Feedstock Supply
Tackifiers are produced at feedstock integrated sites in the United States, France, through our Tonex joint venture in Japan and our new joint venture plant in China. Since 1990, ExxonMobil Chemical's overall tackifier capacity has doubled. We have base polymer facilities located throughout the world.
World-Scale Production Lines Offering Low-Cost Economics
Continuing research in process technology and investments in advanced process control ensure the efficient manufacture of high quality products. Quality tools, such as statistical process control, are used to improve the attributes and consistency of our products.
ISO 9002 Certified Production Facilities
Our American and European tackifier manufacturing sites, as well as Dexco's Vector styrenic block copolymer production unit, are ISO 9002 certified.
