Product Description
Borstar HE345FB is a polypropylene homopolymer grade characterised by:
  • Medium molecular weight distribution
  • Easy processability and improved melt stability
  • Excellent spinning performance on low and high speed technologies
  • Optimal product consistency and resin purity

Borstar HE345FB results in improved fibre properties:
  • Gasfading free
  • Inherent, initial UV stability
  • Prolonged long term heat stability

Borstar HE345FB is designed for both staple fibre and continuous filament production.
