Piber Group, Italian food packaging specialist is using Borealis' Bormod™ BJ368MO- a ground-breaking polypropylene (PP) block copolymer-for the production of wide range of injection moulded tubs for food packaging. The material by Borealis was selected by Piber Group for its unique combination of very high flow and high strength, high impact resistance that is retained at temperatures as low as -20°C and the low odour and taste characteristics.
The grade makes use of Borealis' highly innovative Borealis Nucleation Technology (BNT), which increases productivity through faster and finer crystallization. It incorporates anti-static additives, not only to improve the cleanliness of finished products, but also to reduce cycle times by ensuring smooth demoulding, even at temperatures as high as 90°C. The material exhibits a melt flow ratio (MFR) of 70 g/10 min which enables processors to easily produce parts with wall thicknesses as low as 0.4 mm, and fill moulds with flow paths having length:diameter ratios as high as 300:1. This exceptional flow, coupled with ability of Bormod BJ368MO to crystallize rapidly and at higher temperatures than normal, yields significant cycle time reductions that can be as high as 20%.
