Product Description
Bormed LE6609-PH is a low density polyethylene produced in a high-pressure process. It is intended for blow moulding of soft and flexible packages for pharmaceutical products. The product can also be used for injection moulding and film blowing.

Products made from Bormed LE6609-PH can be sterilised by using ethylene oxide, gamma radiation, electron beam radiation or steam. Sterilisation steam temperature can be above 110 °C.
