Product Description
Bormed RF830MO is a specially modified transparent polypropylene random copolymer with high meltflow. This polymer grade is intended for production of medical and medical-related articles. It is characterized by easy processability, high transparency, high gloss and good stiffness-impact balance. In addition it can be sterilized with gamma radiation and has an excellent chemical resistance.

In addition to its good physical properties and excellent transparency, this grade also yields products with good printability. Products moulded from this grade and radiated with the dose of 25 kGy have a shelf-life of 5 years, if stored below 40°C.
