Bormod HC905TF Borealis Polypropylene Homopolymer

Product Description

Bormod HC905TF is a low melt flow rate polypropylene homopolymer intended for thermoformed packaging applications. This homopolymer is produced using the Borealis Controlled Crystallinity Polypropylene (CCPP) technology. This provides a polypropylene with excellent processing consistency and its high crystallisation temperature allows for reduced cycle time and increased output. Bormod HC905TF is suitable for both in-line and off-line thermoforming where it shows a wide processing window and gives very consistent shrinkage behaviour after forming.

Products made from Bormod HC905TF are characterised by excellent clarity, good stiffness and better impact properties than conventionally nucleated homopolymers. Bormod HC905TF has excellent organoleptic properties making it suitable for the most sensitive packaging applications.

Bormod HC905TF is recommended for the following applications:

Highly transparent trays, cups and containers.

Houseware and thin wall packaging.

Margarine tubs and dairy containers.

Blending with copolymers for lids.
