Borealis Offers New Sealing Film Solution

Borealis is enlarging its product offer for high quality films
with a new addition to its BormedTM 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. End uses which can benefit from
the performance advantages include pouches, lid films for
blister packaging, etc. With this new grade, Borealis' range of
solutions for the medical film industry becomes uniquely broad.
   Bormed TD109CF fulfils the need of the medical industry for
pure polymers due to its low solubles and extractables. Improved
production efficiency results in lower costs. In co-extruded
films, Bormed TD109CF's typical broad sealing window of
approximately 35℃ allows converters to seal different films on
the packaging line, without the need to adjust sealing
parameters, thereby improving the speed of production. Its low
sealing initiation temperatures in the range of 103? to 105?
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.
