BORMED HF840MO

Bormed™ HF840MO is a polypropylene homopolymer intended for evaluation for use in Healthcare applications. This grade is modified with a slip agent and typically used in injection moulding. It is characterised by a good processability and an easy de-moulding. Products produced from Bormed HF840MO are characterised by a controlled low friction, good physical properties and low warpage because of the narrow molecular distribution. Bormed HF840MO can be sterilised with ethylene oxide or 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.
