Kunststoffe international, 2005-11-21, General-purpose Plastics: Appearance Ever More Important
... PPR 3221 is suitable for transparent bottles produced by blow moulding; it can be processed over a broad range of temperatures and is noted for its exceptional transparency and surface gloss, even if extruded at low temperatures. Borclear and Borsoft are new PP grades from Borealis, which now permit PP blown films to compete with PE products (Fig.2). These grades are transparent and superior to PE in terms of their tactile properties and mechanical strength. Exxon's PP5122E1 is a PP for f...

...ciality plastics. Fig. 3 shows the main relationships between the optical properties and the stiffness characteristics of the most important new PP developments. One very special development is that of the flexible random-heterophasic Borsoft grades with their relatively good transparency. They have led to a breakthrough in the production of transparent bags for liquids, and have proved to be an effective substitute for glass bottles and PVC bags in medical packaging (Fig. 4). In contrast, the ...

...ratures (hot-fill applications) and an improved water vapour barrier (+15%) being just a logical extension of previous trends. Even more interestingly, soft, ductile and transparent random block-copolymers (e.g. Borsoft from Borealis) are based on the same morphology design concepts as mentioned above in the case of Borpact injection moulding grades (see Fig.5). Borsoft copolymers are mainly used in co-extrusion and blends for food, medical and technical films. A very strong application trend f...

...barrier properties and also in printability (Fig.4). For flexible films used in the medical sector – e.g. for infusion bags (title picture) – PP is become established as an important alternative to plasticised PVC (PVC-P). A good example is Borsoft SD233CF, which is used primarily for cast films and, if required, can also be used in special compounds with external elastomers and in coextruded constructions. This material also has special advantages in sterilisation. The sterilisation behaviour ...
