Capacitors
Borclean™ high purity polypropylene resins for capacitor film offer the best dielectric film properties

CapacitorsBorclean™ are a family of the purest polypropylene homopolymers for capacitor film manufacturing. These polymers are produced with ultra
low levels of impurities and residues and extreme care is exercised to avoid any risk of contamination.

Our polypropylene homopolymers for capacitor film offers the best possible dielectric film properties, resulting in high and consistent breakdown strengths and low dielectric losses. Borclean for capacitor film makes the difference

Borclean product grades are widened and enhanced by a revolutionary type of high isotactic homopolymer. The isotacticity of more than 98 % offers BOPP manufacturers films with improved mechanical properties at elevated temperatures, meaning higher stiffness and lower shrinkage. As a result, the polymers further deliver improved dielectrical properties and less deterioration of the film winding at higher service temperatures of the capacitor.

Capacitor film produced using Borclean polypropylene grades offers:

• Super high purity,
• Ultra low ash level,
• Low dissipation factor,
• Maximum cleanliness.

All products delivered by Borealis are tailored in relation to molecular weight and molecular weight distribution to maximise processability. These balanced rheological properties as well as the extreme low gel content ensure smooth processing behaviour, as well as extrusion and stretching.

Fibres
Polyolefin fibres for onion bagsBorealis is a leading supplier of advanced polyolefin plastics for fibre applications including:

• Non-woven fibres,
• Technical textiles,
• Textiles.

The introduction of Borealis technologies and solutions such as Borstar® and Borflow™ has produced a series of unique products, recognised as the standard in the market. They have been developed for diverse applications and can be spun into:

• Filaments,
• Thread,
• String
• Rope.

Both the polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) grades offered by Borealis are characterised by a high level of product consistency allowing the converter to run at high line speed while maintaining the same superior quality level. Both this high-quality and long-life performance offers a long-term solution which can help improve manufacturing efficiency.

Helthcare
Bormed® adheres to stringent quality control procedures required by the healthcare industry

Plastic SyringesBorealis is a leading supplier of nnovative solutions for the healthcare industry. Our Bormed® family of products offer a complete range of dedicated polyolefins that are produced under controlled conditions, and follow stringent quality control procedures.

All Bormed products have a registered Drug Master File (DMF) at the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and comply with the European Pharmacopoeia (EP) and/or the US Pharmacopoeia.

A call for innovative, durable solutions

Customers in the healthcare sector expect a level of service and follow-up that are a notch above other market segments. They also expect their suppliers to combine long-term commitment and stability with the continual development of innovative solutions.

The market can be segmented into 3 main categories:

• medical devices (including syringes),
• pharmaceutical packaging,
• medical pouches.

Medical devices require materials that are easy to sterilise using different methods, give low and controlled friction, and are transparent and easy to process.

Pharmaceutical packaging adds further material requirements. These include transparency, good barriers against humidity, easy disposal (e.g. through incineration), chemically inert, and are easy to sterilise using different methods.

For either segment, safety and traceability of the materials used, as well as their Drug Master File, European Pharmacopoeia, and US Pharmacopoeia registrations are an absolute must.

Why choose the Bormed family of products?

Borealis has fully understood not only the needs of the healthcare industry but also those of individual end users. The result is a tailor-made Bormed® product line. The products offer the following end-user benefits:

• Friendly yet child-proof packaging;
• Safety and security of use (compared to traditional materials such as glass);
• Safe disposal;
• Convenience and reduced weight (to cater to the increasing trend towards home care and self administration).

Pharma-BottlesFor healthcare industry converters and brand-owners, our materials are safe and adhere to stringent quality control procedures. We offer converters and brand-owners a comprehensive range of polypropylene (PP) homopolymers, random and block (heterophasic) copolymers and high-density polyethylene (HDPE).

Moreover, customers also benefit from extended supply guarantees and the controlled production conditions.

Recommended product grades

RF830MO is a nucleated random polypropylene copolymer that is radiation sterilisable and has a very high transparency. It is recommended for syringe barrels.

HD810MO is a polypropylene homopolymer with high transparency that can withstand radiation up to 25 KGy.

RF846MO is a random polypropylene copolymer designed to be highly transparent without the use of nucleating additives. It is suited for ISBM or IBM and is the recommended material to replace glass and other materials for bottles and containers in the medical industry.

HD850MO is a polypropylene homopolymer with a high HDT (heat deflection temperature) and good transparency. It is suitable for several types of pharmaceutical packaging.

HE7541PH is a high-density polyethylene which is easy to process, has a very high ESCR and is recommended for closures.

Rigid Packaging
Borealis is a leading supplier of advanced polyolefin plastics used for rigid packaging.

With so many requirements placed on packaging materials, Borealis has developed new rigid packaging products for blow moulding, injection moulding, and thermoforming that exceed industry standards for quality and durability for the food, beverage and dairy applications.

Our materials offer:

• high impact strength to withstand handling and abuse,
• high stiffness to protect contents in the packaging,
• high barrier properties to resist against temperature changes.
