Borealis launches new polypropylene (PP) grade BorPure™ RF490MO

Borealis, a leading provider of chemical and innovative plastics solutions, launches new polypropylene (PP) grade BorPure™ RF490MO, offering packaging converters a saving in cycle time of up to 10% and an energy reduction of up to 5% in the creation of lightweight hinge closures with superior optics.

The random copolymer PP innovation for transparent and non-opaque coloured closures sets a new benchmark in combining advanced product performance with sustainability in the conversion of lightweight closure solutions through more efficient and environmentally considerate manufacturing. BorPure RF490MO offers an outstanding stiffness/impact balance with excellent transparency and optical appeal as a new star in the BorPure family.

BorPure RF490MO’s broad spectrum of benefits derive from the 20-30% higher stiffness levels and dimensional colour stability achieved with proprietary Borealis Nucleation Technology (BNT), while retaining the impact performance of existing random PP grades.
