Bormed™ BJ868MO: A regulated plastics solution for the production of medical and diagnostic devices

Borealis Bormed™ BJ868MO is an addition to our range of Bormed polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) grades for rigid and flexible products in the healthcare industry. A high flow, heterophasic polypropylene copolymer, it is a regulated grade that was developed for the express purpose of enabling our healthcare customers to achieve full compliance with safety regulations like IVDR and MDR.

This copolymer is intended for use in the production of medical and diagnostic devices such as pipettes. Bormed BJ868MO is globally available and included in our Bormed Concept service package encompassing Service, Commitment, and Conformance.

Bormed BJ868MO functions as a base for a new electrically conductive compound used in the production of high precision pipettes. This new material solution offers important advantages to manufacturers and end users.
High impact resistance minimizes risk of breakage for the end user. Lower holding pressures, lower processing temperatures and faster cycle times enhance sustainability thanks to reduced energy consumption and CO2 emissions.

• High impact resistance also ensures good drop performance of final device in varying conditions (at refrigerator, deep freezer and sub-zero temperatures).
• Superior high flow enables fast and easy mould filling; flow length-wall thickness ratios of up to 300 provide for very good dimensional stability.
