They offer low migration into medical products and liquids and provide high security and integrity during transportation and handling.

Medical applications are challenging with extensive validation requirements, and close control of formulation and production to ensure long-term safety and efficacy for purpose. Borealis has a track record in formulations of polypropylene for medical films, particularly in blister packs and flexible pouches, developed in close co-operation with converters and end-users.

The transparent copolymers and homopolymers are especially well-suited for co-extrusion in combination with other Borealis grades for medical applications.
