Borstar Enhanced Polyethylene

Borstar Enhanced PE – The cost effective alternative for High Perfromance Flexible Packaging, grades FB2230 and FB2310 have unparalled balance of Performance, Productivity and Versatility.

Performance

- Unique property balance in a multitude of applications

  • Thinner films through unique combination of stiffness and mechanical properties
  • Stronger Films through superior dart drop impact strength
  • Toughness at low temperature –ideal for frozen food packaging
  • Seal-ability – higher hot tack force and broader sealing window than C4 LLDPE and LD and its coplymers.
  • Cost reduction in coextrusion – broader sealing window enhances properties of expensive heat seal polymers – offering cost reduction.
  • Resistance to aggressive environments (ESCR)
  • Low taste and odour
  • Pack integrity

- Design Freedom –unique surface and printing properties

  • Matt and Smooth surface onto which print registration is excellent
  • Easy to open – non blocking smooth surface makes for easy open pack design
  • Easier and cheaper printing – less energy needed to achieve corona treatment levels
  • Lower cost of colouration due to inherent surface properties
  • Good optics in coextruded structures

Productivity

- Easy, consistent processing and converting, less scrap

  • Easily processed on most blown film lines
  • Less tendency to bubble breaks
  • Easily co-extruded with other polyethylene materials
  • Comparable outputs to LDPE
  • High speed packaging conversion

- Bubble stability, longer runs, higher outputs

  • High Stable extrusion output over a range of film thickness
  • No melt fracture - even at narrow die gaps



Versatility

- Saving in material usage

  • Genuine down-gauging potential
  • Ideal for blending

- Simplified material handling

  • Drawdown ability means one grade replaces several conventional PE grades.
  • Savings in stock management and logistics
