Borealis brings Shape and Lite

31 May 2011


Borealis has introduced BorShape, a new generation of film materials claiming ‘unparalleled performance’, and BorLite linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE).

BorShape is said to offer new opportunities for developing innovative packaging films with less material, greater efficiency and improved environmental and lifecycle performance. High toughness and very high stiffness allow faster line speeds, downgauging of up to 30%, and lower energy use during processing and transportation compared with advanced metallocene based PE materials.

BorLite, it is claimed, sets new standards in the performance of Machine Direction Orientation (MDO) films. Based on Borealis’ proprietary Borstar LLD bimodal technology, the new range offers ‘step-change downgauging’, high impact strength, high puncture resistance, and good tear resistance in machine direction, in addition to lower operational costs and reductions in energy and CO2 emissions.
