Bimodality is the key feature in Borstar© PE

—— Single reactor (Unimodal)

—— Dual reactor (Bimodal)

Anteo™Borstar® Bimodal Terpolymer (BBT) PE Technology and Benefits

Step-change in puncture and tear resistance properties

Optical properties for shelf appeal

Three main features give BBT PE Technology the competitive edge:

Bimodality in molecular weight

Bimodality in density

Tailored co-monomer incorporation

Unparalleled processability

Seal integrity and sealing speed

Lamination Film

Lamination film is usually found in the inner ply, where it serves as sealing ply and is heat-pressed to form an air tight seal.

The seal prevents loss or leakage of the packed product and eliminates odor leakage from the package.

Heavy Duty Shipping Sacks (HDSS)Application Overview

HDSS structures typically consist of different materials, ranging from polypropylene raffia, paper/plastic lamination to 100% polyolefin based co-extrusion structures.

Blown film HDSS ( mainly in Tube form ) with thickness between 100 to 200 µm, are designed to carry products up to 50kg but the most common weight for a filled sack is 25kg.

Typical applications for HDSS are to package raw materials like plastic resins, chemical products, and fertilizers.

HDSS packaging is also used in food items such as rice, salt, sugar and pet food.

Case Study2


HDSS Application requirements

Film rigidity / stiffness during packaging, storage and

transport. Requires excellent mechanical properties such

as dart impact, tear strength and puncture

Optimal film thickness distribution with good creep

resistance

Sufficient heat sealing range for trouble-free sealing and

high packaging speed

Low inside friction and blocking for easy opening and

faster line speed during bagging operation

Optimal COF of bag surface to ensure stability of

palletised bags

Film toughness to prevent bagging failure and product

spoilage during material handling - Drop test is critical

and should pass specification

Good processability for high production output with

bubble stability
