HDPE with Improved Melt Flow Rate Serves to Make Complex Injection-molded Medical Devices

Converters operating in the healthcare market can utilize Bormed™ HE9601-PH high-density polyethylene (HDPE) for high-speed injection-molding applications, such as syringe plungers, caps and closures. This high melt flow rate (MFR=31 which is 2.5-times better than other available options) polymer from Borealis and Borouge gives packaging productivity improvements in medical, pharmaceutical and diagnostic streams.
High flow of HDPE also allows carrying the injection molding process, even for complex designs, easily at relatively lower pressure and temperature, thus giving cost and energy saving advantage to the OEMs. Bormed HE9601-PH is characterized by high stiffness, chemical resistance, barrier performance and impermeability to water vapor, thus making it ideal for use in highly demanding medical and healthcare applications. Bormed HE9601-PH conforms to European and US Pharmacopeia and is registered with Drug Master File.
