VERSIFY™ Plastomers and Elastomers are a versatile family of specialty propylene-ethylene copolymers produced with a revolutionary catalyst in combination with Dow’s proprietary INSITE™ Technology and Solution Process.
The new polymers are based on truly revolutionary technology — a breakthrough propylene-ethylene union that has created a world of new possibilities for polymer converters, processors and formulators, in the form of new products, new applications and new markets.
VERSIFY Plastomers and Elastomers are designed to improve optics, sealing and hot tack performance, elasticity, flexibility and softness for flexible and rigid packaging producers, manufacturers of thermoplastic elastomers and olefins, and converters in the consumer product sector.
The unique molecular architecture of these new polymers provides flexible materials with outstanding combinations of:
Low modulus, good heat resistance and excellent optics
Soft-touch feel and elasticity
Low heat seal initiation temperatures and a broad heat seal window
Excellent elastic recovery, heat sealability and clarity
Exceptionally high filler loading combined with good processability
Excellent compatibility with, and adhesion to, a wide range of polyolefins, particularly PP
Ease of processing in a wide range of fabrication methods
