Borealis plastics solution offers stronger packaging, better stackability

European plastics housewares manufacturer Tontarelli Group uses new polymers solution from Borealis for transparent, thin wall packaging of injection molded products.

Borealis recently launched a new solution for transparent, thin wall packaging which meets the demands for improved product visibility, lighter weight but stronger packaging, better stackability and integrated features for convenience and tamper-proof solutions. The RJ470MO polymer solution offers the well-established properties of polypropylene (PP) random copolymers, such as stiffness, impact performance and low density and a new route to greater productivity. The plastics solution delivers clear benefits to retailers and consumers in packaging for dairy, confectionary and convenience food as well as for electronics and cosmetics.

RJ470MO from Borealis, is able to satisfy all of these requirements and do so faster than ever before by pushing back the boundaries of design and thickness, while at the same time increasing efficiency and saving cost. With a high fluidity Melt Flow Rate (MFR) of 70, this new grade provides optimum transparency, quick demolding and high output for injection molded parts with very thin walls, long flow lengths and complex geometries.

Home Furnishings: Housewares - Modular Containers - "Classic Line" Dimensions: 80 x 60 x 18,5 cm.

Significant reduction of waste "By switching from MFR 45 to MFR 70 we have been able to meet the market's demands," says Sergio Tontarelli of the plastic housewares manufacturer Tontarelli Group. "We have experienced no modification to transparency and mechanical characteristics, while at the same time being able to reduce cycle time in comparison to the MFR 45 random. There has also been a significant reduction of waste."

The Tontarelli Group, headquartered in Castelfidardo near Ancona, Italy. The group is specialized in the manufacturing of plastic household articles through injection molding. A special emphasis is put on a sophisticated design, high functionality and quality. Today, the Tontarelli group owns five production plants in Italy, Great Britain, France, the Czech Republic and Germany, as well as two distribution centres in Spain and Germany.

The Tontarelli group also has a molding plant specialized in the development and fabrication of molds, located in Recanati, Italy and has set up a manufacturing plant in the national industrial park “Bommelscheuer”, located in Bascharage.

Typically, the very fast crystallisation of RJ470MO allows molders to reduce cycle times by as much as 10% when compared with standard PP randoms with MFR 45. This gives a significant advantage in food and appliance packaging and houseware applications. This solution is a replacement of standard random copolymers and offers the possibility to downgauge and lower part weight, as well as increase output.

The Tontarelli Group has 4 group companies in Italy, all operating in the sector of plastic articles for household use. Two manufacturing plants and two moulding plants. It directly employs a total of 400 workers and avails itself of a commercial network for selling its products in Italy and abroad.
