Product Description
Bormed FB8230 is a high molecular weight linear low density polyethylene film grade combining good and flexible extrusion behaviour, excellent draw down and superior mechanical properties.

For films made of Bormed FB8230 , the high toughness remains in cold conditions.

Bormed FB8230 has been developed especially for applications like:
  • Medical packaging
  • Packaging for pharmaceutical products
  • Sealing layer in sterilisable packaging

Bormed FB8230 contains antioxidant.
