Borouge at CHINAPLAS 2024: Innovation for sustainability

Borouge debuted Anteo FK1510, its first outstanding second-generation single site catalyzed polyethylene (SS-PE) product, at CHINAPLAS.

Due to its bimodal polymer design, the material retains outstanding processability and superior sealing performance, enabling customers to expand its range of flexible packaging applications with the added benefits of running processing and converting lines quicker and with more efficiency.

Anteo FK1510 is an excellent option for mono-material structures, with boosted impact and sealing properties suitable for Designed for Recycling (DfR) applications. It encourages the industry to substitute non-recyclable multi-material structures to allow 100% recycling capabilities.

At its booth, Borouge also showcased the newly launched Borstar RA150E, produced using advanced Borstar Nucleation Technology (BNT) from Borealis.

The latest infrastructure solution is designed for water piping applications delivering hot and cold water to homes, engineered to provide optimum balance of stiffness, toughness and processability.

In addition, the company showcased its complete PE100-RC portfolio comprising HE3490-LS-H, HE3492-LS-H and HE3490-ELS-H, the next generation of PE100 materials exhibiting exceptional slow crack resistance for polyethylene pressure pipes.

On energy application, Borouge showcased its expanding portfolio of electrification solutions that is being developed to enhance applications that enable clean energy. These include applications such as Lithium-ion Battery separator, Lithium-ion Battery pouch cell aluminium-laminate and solar floating pontoon.

Highlights at mobility sector included polypropylene short glass fiber filled recycled compounded solutions that have been designed to provide light-weighting and circularity benefits for the automotive sector.

A key product showcased was a polypropylene compound that incorporated 40% PCR content, suitable for structural interior automotive parts, and delivers similar mechanical performance compared to virgin products, but with improved carbon emissions impact.

These products, produced at Borouge’s Compounding Manufacturing Plant in Shanghai, are designed to incorporate 25%-70% recycled materials and can achieve up to 32% reduction in carbon footprint compared to virgin grades.
