BORMED RF830MO

Bormed™ RF830MO is a polypropylene random copolymer intended for evaluation for use in Healthcare applications. This transparent grade is modified with a nucleating agent and is suitable for articles, which need post sterilisation with radiation. Bormed RF830MO is characterised by easy processability, high transparency, high gloss and a good stiffness-impact balance. Products moulded from this grade and radiated with the dose of 25 kGy have a shelf-life of 5 years, if properly stored. Material can also be sterilised with ethylene oxide and steam. Borealis prohibits the use of any grade product in an implantable device that is introduced into the human body by surgical intervention and that is intended to remain in place following the surgical procedure, e-g- stents, pacemakers. A filled-in Risk Assessment Form and its corresponding approval by Borealis is needed for material sampling and for every Healthcare application.
