With the company’s expansion of strategic partnerships with recycling companies recently, Borouge has also introduced design solutions that incorporate recycled polyolefins to drive the transformation towards a zero-waste economy. Highlights include - Courier bag, collation shrink film, non-food bottle and caps. These applications contain a combination of post-consumer recycled polyolefins, and Borouge’s premium Anteo and Borstar polyethylene grades. 

Borouge’s circular economy solutions include PE, mono-material pouches and packaging developed in collaboration with value chain partners. Anteo FK1826 is a bimodal terpolymer linear low-density polyethylene; produced using the proprietary Borstar technology for high performance flexible packaging requirements. Anteo promotes high throughput and cost-efficient processing in blown film production. 

RH668MO is a polypropylene random copolymer, based on proprietary Borstar nucleation technology (BNT) that combines clarity and aesthetics with superior productivity. The copolymer is designed for premium houseware and food containers. It’s a combination of high flow reduced cycle time and energy savings.

Also featured is the Borstar FB1200 - A bimodal polyethylene designed for agriculture films which come with a matt surface, mechanical strength and toughness, superior melt strength and higher bubble stability. It complements Borouge’s suite of agriculture solutions for greenhouses, mulch films, aqua pond liners, and drip irrigation.

One of Borouge’s key exhibits at Plastindia 2023 is BorSafe HE3490-ELS-H, its latest PE100 solution for thick-walled and large diameter pipes in industrial applications. Being a recent addition to Borouge’s HDPE pressure pipe portfolio, it has low sag properties that enable a uniformly distributed wall thickness compared to conventional PE100 materials. 

The company has also recently introduced Borstar HE3477-RT, a polyethylene of raised temperature resistance (PE-RT) Type II bi-modal material. It is designed for heating and industrial pipes that can achieve more than 50 years of service life at elevated temperatures.
