BP POLYMERS, LLC
Manufacturer of Quoral Barrier Resins
+ Quoral BR is BP Polymer's unique and proprietary barrier resin, patent pending, additive to high density polyethylene (HDPE) that utilizes laminate technology thereby creating 'Baritainer' (cf. Technology).
+ Quoral BR is based on special grades of Polyamide (PA) 6.
+ Through use of an adapted adhesive, optimal adhesion with PE is guaranteed.
+ Quoral is a dry blend which is adapted to the container type and size to be produced in order to optimize adhesion between the PA and the PE matrix.
+ Customized and proprietary manufacturing processing techniques are necessary to ensure optimal barrier performance in Barrier Plastics' Baritainers.
+ The result is a laminar microstructure in which the Quoral BR forms stacks of large overlapping platelets or discontinuous layers within the Baritainer wall, that limit permeation by creating a 'tortuous path' for large chain molecules attempting to diffuse through the HDPE walls into the atmosphere.
+ Standard Grades:
* Quoral BR 70 = for containers < 5 Liters.
* Quoral BR 50 = for containers > 5 Liters.
+ With the same processing conditions, the amount of barrier can be adapted by the amount of Quoral BR added.
+ In comparison with HDPE, Quoral is:
* Hydrocarbons (solvents) 100 times more efficacious.
* Excellent aroma barrier.
* 2x to 5x improvement in O2 barrier performance.
+ Properties of HDPE remain unchanged:
* Printability
* Mechanical Properties
* Colorants
* UV Additive
* Seal Properties
* Anti-Static Additive
* Fire Retardant Additive
* Recyclability
