Borealis, a leading provider of innovative, value creating plastics solutions, has created a unique opportunity for pail packaging converters to raise productivity and increase processing efficiency while delivering pails with excellent stacking performance, high impact resistance and good aesthetics. New polypropylene BH374MO has been developed specifically to meet converter and OEM demands for high quality, cost-effective and environmentally-friendly pail materials that reduce per unit packaging weights, offer storage and transport benefits, and improve performance.

Borealis’ bottling innovation gives on-and off-the-shelf benefits to KKT

Kaller Kunststoff Technik GmbH (KKT), a specialist in the production of plastic bottles for the food, beverage, cosmetic and paint industry, has selected a biaxially oriented polypropylene (PP) grade from Borealis to manufacture injection stretch blow moulded (ISBM) bottles for water-based paint. The choice of this material gives KKT a competitive edge in this specialised market traditionally dominated by extrusion blow moulded high density polyethylene (HDPE)-based bottles. Lower production costs, improved aesthetics and better impact resistance are among the advantages provided by Borealis’ PP ISBM grade RF926MO.

New HDPE for caps and closures made using the unique bimodal Borstar® process

Two new high-density polyethylene (HDPE) grades, based on Borealis’ proprietary Borstar process, have been developed especially by Borealis for beverage caps and closures offering converters greater security, better quality and more favourable economics.

New Borealis polypropylene film grades for medical applications

Borealis has developed a range of new innovative polypropylene grades for extruded film applications such as medical pouches and monoblister packaging as an alternative to polyvinyl chloride (PVC), glass, and other polymers.

New Borealis biaxially oriented polypropylene

The new Borealis RF926MO polypropylene (PP) injection stretch blow moulding (ISBM) grade provides enhanced performance owing to its biaxial orientation. Biaxially oriented polypropylene reduces weight and improves transparency of plastic bottles.
