Borealis AG products

Whether used in residential, commercial, or industrial buildings, flame retardant materials are subject to increasingly stringent regulations. Manufacturers must produce building products which exhibit low flame propagation and low smoke effluent generation. They must also be easily manufactured and fulfil all applicable safety specifications. We, at Borealis, offer low smoke and zero halogen (LSZH) solutions which meet a number of industry standards. Our proprietary Casico compounds exhibit reduced heat release and smoke generation, and produce no corrosive gas emissions. These reduced hazard materials decrease the risk to health and life as well as secondary fire damage to equipment and installations. Our lower density compounds often permit downsizing thus contribute to environmental sustainability: less material is required while maintaining superior system performance.

Borstar® is Borealis` state-of-the-art multi-modal proprietary technology for manufacturing polyethylene and polypropylene.

Borceed™ is the Borealis proprietary technology for plastomers and elastomers.

Borcycle is an evolving recycling technology that transforms polyolefin post-consumer based waste streams into value-adding solutions for demanding applications.

The Borealis Sirius catalyst technology makes it possible to produce chemical substances – so-called catalysts – engineered specifically for the production of functionalised polymers for Borealis and its customers.

Based on its proprietary Borstar® technology, Borealis has developed a nucleating approach resulting from its own research – Borstar® Nucleation Technology. The nucleating effect is obtained in the polymerisation reactor (in situ) during the manufacture of polypropylene (PP). This is in contrast to the standard approach of adding a nucleating agent during pelletisation.

Based on the Borealis proprietary Borstar® technology, Borstar® Bimodal Terpolymer Technology for polyethylene offers exceptional flexibility in polymer design by combining smart catalyst design with a superior, two-reactor system process with two comonomers.
