Exxon Mobil Develop New BOCD Geomembrane Resin with NCTL > 3000 hrs
These so called BOCD resins high degree of broad orthogonal composition distribution (“BOCD”), meaning that they have a relatively high degree of short-chain branching in higher-molecular-weight chains, as compared to the short-chain branching in lower-molecular weight chains.
