Borealis – the leading manufacturer of advanced and sustainable polyolefin solutions
Borealis is one of the world’s leading providers of innovative and sustainable polyolefin solutions. In Europe, the company also plays a pioneering role in polyolefin recycling and is a major producer of basic chemicals. With state-of-the-art material solutions, Borealis helps processing companies successfully achieve their sustainability and performance goals.
Borealis materials combine high chemical resistance with excellent mechanical performance, thereby meeting the requirements of a wide range of applications, particularly in the small appliances sector. Among their strengths is a high degree of design freedom, which enables a wide selection of surface textures and colors for distinctive product designs with high market appeal.
Materials containing recycled content from the Borcycle™ and Bornewables™ portfolios actively support the implementation of sustainability strategies.
In household appliance applications, ABS or PA components can be replaced with polyolefin solutions from Borealis. This reduces component weight, improves design flexibility, and simplifies assembly. Typical properties include excellent stiffness, high chemical resistance, high gloss, and good scratch resistance.
Fibremod™ offers excellent stiffness combined with high impact strength as well as corrosion and alkali resistance. Compared to alternative materials, it stands out due to its UL listing, FDA approval (not all), zero moisture absorption, heat stability, dimensional stability, and material consistency.
BorPure™ is a family of high-purity polyolefin grades designed for demanding flexible and translucent applications. Based on Borstar® Nextension technology, this portfolio sets new standards in terms of organoleptic properties while also offering excellent flow characteristics for efficient processing.
Daplen™includes mineral-filled, partially elastomer-modified polypropylene compounds for injection molding. These versatile, high-performance materials are characterized by high surface quality, excellent scratch resistance, and a balanced property profile.
Recleo™ brings together cost-effective, mechanically recycled polyolefin solutions derived from industrial and post-consumer waste in a globally available portfolio. The recycled materials and compounds cover a wide range of applications and expand the possibilities for achieving regulatory and sustainability goals. When combined with virgin resin from Borealis and Borouge, the recycled content in consumer products can be specifically increased, significantly improving their recyclability. Backed by the global network and decades of expertise from Borealis and Borouge, Recleo™ stands for consistently high quality and reliable supply performance. The portfolio ideally complements the high-quality mechanically recycled polyolefins in the Borcycle™ M portfolio.
