ISBM PP packaging grade tailored to allow differentiating design features
Borealis, a leading provider of innovative, value creating plastics solutions, has tailored its polypropylene injection stretch blow moulding (PP ISBM) grade BorclearTM RF926MO to allow more flexibility in product design while simultaneously increasing processability.
The premium position of Borclear RF926MO in the expanding PP ISBM market segment is further consolidated by tripling Borclear’s operating temperature window for the critical stretch blow moulding process. This permits shorter cycle times and a more consistent wall thickness distribution that leads to a better homogeneity of the bottle. It also creates greater value by allowing increased design flexibility, tackling more complex and differentiated shapes.
