Enhanced Performance of Bimodal LLDPE in Frozen Food Packaging Application, 2003 European PLACE Conference Proceedings
In this study several polyethylene grades, used today in frozen food packaging, were evaluated and it
was noted that Borstar® bimodal LLDPE products from Borealis will deliver a unique toughness /
stiffness balance, high mechanical strength and impact resistance at low temperatures, even down to –
40°C which is required for packing, transporting, handling and storing of frozen food. The special matt
surface with low friction brings benefits to processability as well as filling on the packaging machines
and offers potential for differentiated eye-catching appearance and printing for enhanced sales appeal.
