High transparency, high purity heat seal film new solution

As a leading supplier of innovative plastics, Borealis will add new products to its BormedTM Medicinal Specialty Polyolefins range to expand its range of high-quality thin-film applications. Bormed TD109CF is a polypropylene (PP) heat sealing material, which has the advantages of high transparency, high purity, excellent heat sealing performance and sterilizability. End uses that benefit from these performance advantages include stand-up pouches, form-fill-seal (FFS) films, cover heat seals for medical device packaging, and cover films for blister packs. With this new product, the scope of Borealis' product solutions for the medical film industry has become very broad.

Due to its low solubility and precipitation, the BormedTD109CF meets the medical industry's need for pure polymers. Increased production efficiency can reduce production costs. In the production of coextruded films, BormedTD109CF has a very wide range of heat-sealing temperatures, which can be as low as 35°C. It can heat-seal different films on-line without adjusting the heat-sealing parameters, thereby improving the production efficiency. With a lower heat seal initiation temperature (103~105°C), the production cycle is shortened and the line speed is increased. The product can be processed by cast film, down-blowing water-cooled and blown film technology.

In addition to the above unique features, BormedTD109CF also has the following advantages:

1) Broad medical performance: transparency, chemical resistance, sterilizability at 121°C, and resistance to environmental stress cracking;

2) No pollution: Strictly controlled process conditions ensure its pollution-free quality;

3) Supply Security: The long-term sustainable supply of products is guaranteed globally.
