(plastech) -- Borealis, a leading provider of chemical and innovative plastics solutions, brings clear advantages in sustainability and fresh-look aesthetics to the rigid packaging market with the launch of its new superior flow random copolymer polypropylene (PP) RJ901MO.
The next generation advance for thin wall packaging and houseware applications, such as storage boxes, CD and DVD cases, delivers an overall step-change in performance, less energy consumption and a reduced carbon footprint plus strong visual appeal. The grade is manufactured using Borealis' proprietary Borstar technology.
RJ901MO's high melt flow rate (MFR) of 110 in combination with nucleation enables lower processing temperatures. For packaging converters, this creates the potential for higher productivity through optimised cycle times and energy savings. Compared to MFR 70 materials, it is possible to obtain a 20╟C reduction in melt temperatures resulting in a 20% cycle time reduction.
