Borealis Borpact SH950MO polypropylene packaging for frozen foods

Borealis has launched its next-generation transparent polypropylene (PP) grade Borpact SH950MO for frozen food packaging.

Based on Borealis Nucleation Technology (BNT), the packaging offers transparency and good drop impact properties in low temperatures. Compared with its predecessor, Borpact SG930MO, the SJ950MO has higher flow (melt flow rate of 40) and better processability with improved stiffness (1050 MPa).

Developed primarily for packaging deep freeze products such as ice-cream, frozen desserts and other frozen food items, the packaging is also suitable for broader consumer packaging and housewares.

The packaging’s transparency offers a clear view of the package contents without damage or brittle breakages. Its good organoleptic properties mean the taste and odour of the packed product will not be altered. The product’s high gloss and low stress whitening make it suitable for special closure designs.

The higher flowability enables converters to use lower processing temperature which, in combination with BNT, support energy and cycle time savings. The improved formulation and higher stiffness leads to better demoulding properties, making processing easier.

The product’s flowability and improved stiffness also enable the use of thinner walls and more complex designs without compromising product properties or processing performance.
