...ploy durable pipe systems with thinner walls for hot and cold water delivery pipes. Cost savings of up to 13% per meter can be achieved in this way, making plastic pipe systems even more competitive by comparison with traditional materials. Borpact SG930MO is the name of an injection moulding grade of PP from Borealis which is formulated for deep-freeze applications. The transparent material reveals the delicious contents, such as ice-cream, but does not become brittle at low temperatures (Fig.4...

...ransparency One example: the average annual per capita ice cream consumption in Western Europe is about 10kg. Differentiation among the premium brands via packaging is increasingly becoming a key to success. Custom products such as Borpact SG930MO (Borealis) or Clyrell EC140R (Basell) captivate via their outstanding transparency, very good impact strength under deep-freeze conditions and exceptional processability (Fig. 3). Borpact SG321MO is softer, and thus well-suited for use, for instance, i...

...ct family, whose particular focus in combining transparency, sealing capacity and low-temperature performance can be tailored quite differently depending on the specific application. Borealis offers the same versatility in its Borpact products. Borpact SE920MO, for instance, offers an ideal combination of transparency with high impact strength, even at low temperatures. This is achieved by a significantly finer phase structure than that provided by conventional heterophasic polymers. At the same...

...re used once again [5]. The result is rigid and transparent like a nucleated homopolymer, yet tough like an impact copolymer – even at temperatures way below 0°C. The first product of this new PP generation is the thermoforming grade Borpact BC914TF, for which the aim has clearly been achieved (Fig.6). Typical applications include trays for MAP applications (inert gas packaging) and lids that are also suitable for freezing. Further developments for cast films and injection moulding are also pla...

...nding behaviour permit higher speeds on blown film lines. For applications requiring very high toughness and good behaviour at sub-zero temperatures, block or impact copolymers are used. Here again, a new development with the trade name Borpact BC918CF offers advantages, not only in the blown film sector but well beyond in cast-film and thermoforming applications. This grade is the first practical example of an ethylene-propylene interpolymer (EPI) with a completely redesigned elastomer (EPR) ph...

...mportant application area for this product class (Fig. 2). Nor has time stood still in flexible packaging. Since the launch of the first PP stand-up pouches, new opportunities and new requirements have emerged. The unique property profile of Borpact BC918CF (Borealis), for example, opens up applications in a variety of processing technologies and applications. This is a heterophasic copolymer, which in addition to its high rigidity and usual high level of toughness, stands out optically by virtu...
