Borealis has introduced a new grade in Bormed, its family of dedicated healthcare polyolefins. The new grade, Bormed TD109CF, is a polypropylene (PP) sealing material that combines processing advantages with high transparency, purity, excellent sealing behaviour and sterilisability. This grade will improve performance advantages of end use applications such as pouches, form- fill-seal (FFS) film, the sealable layer for lids for the packaging of medical devices and lid films for blister packaging.
In coextruded films, Bormed TD109CF's typical broad sealing window of approximately 35°C allows converters to seal different films on the packaging line, without the need to adjust sealing parameters, thereby improving the speed of production. It's low sealing initiation temperatures in the range of 103°C to 105°C deliver reduced cycle times, leading to an increase in line speed and the potential for increased production volumes. This new grade can be processed by cast, tubular quench and blown film technologies. Bormed TD109CF displays the key advantages of Borealis' Bormed range:
Broad spectrum of healthcare properties: including transparency, chemical inertness, sterilisability at 121°C and environmental stress cracking resistance and contamination-free quality: strict, controlled processing conditions ensure contamination-free quality.
