ExxonMobil advances sustainable material technology with the nearing completion of Phase One of Proxxima™ systems. Developed through collaboration with ExxonMobil scientists and engineers, these innovative polyolefin thermoset resins are designed to offer superior strength, reduced weight, and enhanced corrosion resistance compared to traditional materials. Applications span automotive, infrastructure, coatings, subsea piping, and wind energy sectors, contributing to a lower-carbon footprint. Notably, Proxxima™ systems have demonstrated approximately 60% reduction in lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions from production to sale relative to comparable epoxy resins.
The first phase involves significant infrastructure upgrades, including the retrofit and expansion of ExxonMobil’s blending plant in Huntsville, Texas, which commenced operations in June 2025 with a capacity of 35,000 metric tons annually. Additionally, a new raw material facility near Baytown, Texas, funded by ExxonMobil, is scheduled to become operational later this year to support the blending plant’s full capacity. These developments are crucial steps in ExxonMobil’s commitment to supporting the energy transition by sca...
