Talking Points ExxonMobil and Grupo Plastilene have collaborated to enhance the performance of locally produced thermoforming films in Colombia by implementing Tube Water Quench (TWQ) blown-film technology. This innovation allows Grupo Plastilene to produce high-performance films that match imported structures, improving optical clarity, mechanical strength, and barrier performance. AdvertisementWHAT: Grupo Plastilene faced the challenge of elevating locally produced thermoforming film performance. A longtime regional leader in thermoforming films, Grupo Plastilene strengthened its technology platform by integrating TWQ extrusion from Windmöller & Hölscher (W&H), in close collaboration with ExxonMobil Signature Polymers. Combining TWQ technology, ExxonMobil’s advanced resin portfolio, and Plastilene’s conversion expertise sets a benchmark for thermoforming films.
