Borstar® is Borealis’ proprietary technology that supports differentiated PE and polypropylene (PP) products.  Borstar technology is a critical element in developing the next generation of innovative, creative plastics.  This innovative technology for polyethylene production has ignited keen market interest since its commercial debut in 1995.

The Borstar Technology process produces innovative bimodal products which:

• Combine excellent mechanical strength and product processability
• Are used in a broad range of product applications
• Are cost effective
• Allow material savings of up to 30 per cent

The unique balance of properties and processing is made possible by Borstar Technology, which combines bimodal polymerisation with controlled comonomer addition, yielding enhanced polyethylene with broad molecular weight distribution.

Borstar products are designed to be high-performance and high-value. Their superior performance enables significant down-gauging and reduced product weight for advanced packaging applications, wire & cable jacketing and superior pipe systems.

Now, Borstar PE 2G, Borealis’ next generation technology represents a leap forward in polymer design – from bi-modal PE to multi-modal PE – facilitating the development of an ever-widening range of new plastics which outperform alternative materials in meeting the needs of manufacturers and end users.
