Borealis has introduced Borpact-a film grade polypropylene with a unique combination of good low temperature resistance, high stiffness, high heat resistance plus excellent optical properties. Borpact polypropylene (PP) film grade is user-friendly and offers many solutions to film converters and product manufacturers in the packaging industry.
With this development, polypropylene can be used in a number of new sectors, such as in labelling and modified atmospheric packaging (MAP) trays for meat and fruit, food packaging, pouches, peelable lidding film and film bottle labels.
This grade offers the following benefits:
- Label film, for example, transparent, printed labels for bottles: high stiffness, good optics, good punching
- Food packaging, for example printed sleeves for fresh and frozen bread: high stiffness, sterilisable
- Retortable stand-up pouch, for example, for fresh pet food: easy tear opening; FDA approval; high seam seal strength
- Carrier layer for peelable lidding film, for example, on microwaveable food containers: high stiffness, good processing, high heat resistance
- Transparent thermoformed cups and trays, for example, low temperature or microwaveable food applications, such as ready-to-eat food: good low temperature resistance, good optics and thermoformability
