Borealis launches CT7200, a major technological breakthrough for extrusion coating industry
10/30/2013
Borealis, a leading provider of innovative solutions in the fields of polyolefins, announces the launch of a new low density polyethylene (LDPE) homopolymer produced with high pressure tubular technology for extrusion coating industries. The new CT7200 shares the high-quality organoleptics of current materials. Good optical properties and low gel level further broaden the possibilities to use this product in various flexible packaging applications. Its main advantages:
•High zero shear viscosity contributes to improved sealing performance
•Improved flowability enhances the adhesion to various substrates, even at lower processing temperatures
•Reduced energy consumption at the same output rates, enabled by high shear thinning, results in improved sustainability
CT7200 is ideally suited for applications involving high-volume extrusion coating of boards and papers, liquid packaging, extrusion coating and lamination of different substrates and co-extrusion in multi-structures. |
