New medical grade polyolefin

Borealis has newly developed Bormed series of polyolefin materials, which are polypropylene, low-density polyethylene, and high-density polyethylene for the manufacture of medical devices, pharmaceuticals and diagnostic instrument packages, including injection molding grades and Blow grade two grades.

Among them, the company's recently developed Bormed TD109CF polypropylene resin grade is a high-grade film processing material for medical seal applications. High transparency, chemical inertness, bactericidal properties, and resistance to environmental stress cracking at 121°C are a major feature of this new material. Borealis said that because of its low solubility and precipitation, BormedTD109CF fully meets the requirements of the medical device manufacturing industry and the pharmaceutical industry for pure polymers, and has been certified by the US Pharmacopoeia and the FDA.

This polyolefin new material is also an ideal alternative to expensive medical-grade compounding ingredients, and medical-grade compounding ingredients are often used in applications where medical device manufacturers have specific requirements, such as sealing films that have a reliable seal, high clarity, and high transparency. Purity, Sterilization, etc.

When used to process co-extruded films, the standard broad sealing temperature of the Bormed TD109CF is approximately 35°C, enabling the process manufacturer to heat-seal various films of various substrates on the packaging line, eliminating the need to adjust heat-sealing parameters, thereby increasing labor productivity. The film has a low heat sealing initiation temperature in the range of 103°C to 105°C, which can increase the production speed and yield.

As a new type of sealing material, the outstanding performance of this polypropylene has brought convenience to end users of various medical devices, such as cooking bags, forming-filling-seal films, and heat-sealing covers for medical device packaging. Blister film bubble.
