Dubai: Borealis, a provider of innovative plastics solutions, has launched the Bormed TD109CF, its latest high quality film for the healthcare industry in the region. The film will be made available exclusively through Borouge, sole distributor for Borealis's speciality polyolefins in the Middle East and Asia Pacific.
The new grade Bormed TD109CF is a polypropylene (PP) sealing material that combines processing advantages with high transparency, purity, excellent sealing behaviour and sterilisability, and is the latest addition to Borealis' Bormed range of dedicated healthcare polyolefins.
Peter Nieders, Product Development Engineer for Borealis, said: "Until now, converters had to look towards highly expensive compounds in order to achieve sealing films with excellent sealing behav-iour, high clarity, high purity and sterilisability, which are key attributes for film sealants in the medical industry. Bormed TD109CF delivers these benefits directly without compromising on the performance of the end-product."
The Bormed TD109CF is best suited for end uses such as pouches and form-fill-seal (FFS) film the sealable layer for lids in the packaging of medical devices and lid films for blister packaging. With this new grade, Borealis broadens its innovative range of solutions for the medical film industry.
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 degrees Celsius allows converters to seal different films on the packaging line, without having to adjust sealing parameters, thus improving the speed of production.
