Vienna-based plastics packaging specialist Borealis is to unveil the latest addition to its range of BorPure random polypropylene (PP) copolymers with improved organoleptics at the Thin Wall Packaging 2011 conference, 6-8 December in Cologne, Germany.
The product of a combination of Borealis’ Borstar PP polymerisation technology and Borealis Nucleation Technology (BNT), BorPure RJ766MO is intended primarily for transparent injection moulded, thin walled food packaging. The company says its excellent organoleptic properties mean that ‘it will not impart taste or odour to the packaged product’.
“With its high melt flow rate of 70, BorPure RJ766MO now brings energy saving advantages to containers with even the thinnest walls,” says Rainer Höfling, Borealis vice president moulding.
“Given its excellent organoleptic properties, our new BorPure material is now the preferred grade for all types of food packaging.”
The new grade is the third in the Borealis BorPure random PP family. BorPure grades RG466MO and RJ377MO have melt flow rates of 30 and 45 respectively. These materials have helped Borealis to strengthen its position as a market leader in thin wall consumer packaging in Europe.
