Strong and flexible packaging options

Leveraging Borealis’ 50 years of experience at the forefront of advanced packaging, Borouge today offers an innovative range of plastics solutions utilizing proprietary technologies such as Borstar process technology and Borealis Nucleation Technology (BNT) to deliver unique property profiles.

With their economical processing, weight saving potential and differentiated properties, Borstar enhanced PE and PP solutions are best suited for applications that require combinations of excellent mechanical properties such as stiffness, durability and excellent crack resistance. This results in improved bubble stability and improved film converting for flexible packaging as well as reduced cycle time for rigid packaging.

Packaging converters are constantly looking for innovations that will help provide new types of packaging options, improve the appearance of the goods and enhance the shelf life of food. Visitors to the exhibition will be able to witness and experience first hand how Borouge advanced plastics solutions are being used in advanced applications ranging from frozen food packaging, stand-up pouches, personal care, boutique bags, security and courier bags, agricultural films, nonwovens and houseware containers.
