Borealis launches two new product ranges based on its unique Borecene technology - Borecene Compact™ and Paintable Borecene PE resins for rotomoulding
The rotational moulding industry is continuously seeking for polyethylene (PE) resins that are easy to handle and that have better flow properties. Borecene Compact™ is an improvement over Borealis’ existing ‘black’ Borecene™ powder and other powders which are ground down from pellets. It uses unique, Borealis patented technology which entirely bypasses the grinding stage. By eliminating this stage, Borecene Compact is dust-free which improves both product quality and the quality of the working environment. And as its name implies, one of Borecene Compact’s attributes is that it takes up less volume which makes it simpler to transport and to store.

MachinePoint, three years on the Web
There have been a number of significant changes since MachinePoint first entered the machinery market in 1999. The general view of the Internet as the ultimate tool for all transactions is now confined to history. Although the web still offers fast and easy methods of transactions adoption rates are far slower than anticipated with many e-businesses simple disappearing or completely changing their business models in an effort to survive. “At MachinePoint we have embraced an evolutionary rather than revolutionary approach to the machinery market; we have become a business using the web rather than a business on the web,” says MachinePoint CEO, César Rodríguez.
