Product Description
Bormod BF970MO is a heterophasic copolymer. This product is characterized by an optimum combination of very high stiffness and high impact strength.

This grade uses Borealis Nucleation Technology (BNT) to increase productivity by cycle time reduction. BNT in combination with excellent stiffness and good flow properties creates a high potential for wall-thickness reduction. Products originating from this grade have very good demoulding properties, well-balanced mechanical properties, excellent dimension consistency with respect to different colors and good organoleptic properties.
