Product Description
Borclear RD708CF is a propylene alpha olefin copolymer resin and does not contain any slip or antiblock agents or Ca-stearate. It is suitable for the manufacturing of unoriented film on chill roll process.

Borclear RD708CF is characterised by:
  • Excellent optical properties: very high gloss, very low haze and highest clarity
  • Unique combination of low melting temperature and good balance of reasonable stiffness and tenacity
  • Good heat sealing properties, good hot tack
  • Metallisable
  • Extremely low blooming: good retention of high gloss levels upon ageing
  • Very low soluble-levels

Borclear RD708CF is suitable for various high quality film applications including:
  • Food packaging
  • High quality stationary
  • Lamination film
  • Textile packaging
  • Metallisable cast film
  • Sealing layer in coex-structures
