Connection Pits

Borealis has emerged as the preferred development partner for innovative rotomoulded connection pits. Our solutions enable easy access for installation and maintenance, making it possible for the construction of modern infrastructure systems with multiple connections for power and communication cables.

With our proprietary Borecene product range, as well as C6-polyethylene and polypropylene solutions, we deliver the superior combination of impact resistance, stiffness and excellent creep properties that are critical for infrastructure applications.

Benefits for power and communication systems

Our materials hold the following advantages:

• They fulfil all current national and international standards;
• Resist the damage caused by the chemicals found in ground and waste water, or by mechanical loads and abrasion;
• Adjust smoothly to natural earth movements and shifting;
• Are light weight and easy to handle;
• Can be welded or use gaskets to ensure a tight seal.

Borecene - solutions for energy networks

Borealis has two Borecene PE metallocene-based copolymers to meet the needs of plastic infrastructure systems. These products are supplied in natural pellets / powder and black powder.

Hexene is used as the co-monomer to provide improved impact resistance and durability. The metallocene grades bring the extended stiffness and impact balance of PE to new and enhanced levels. The metallocene grades also provide:

• improved flowabilty in the mould,
• possibilities for shorter cycle times through faster sintering and rapid solidification.

Recommended grades of Borcene

• Borecene RM7404: This grade is best applied when a high stiffness, low creep application is needed. The grade also has excellent impact resistance, making it the ideal grade when long-lasting performance and value are required.
• Borecene RM8344: This grade is best applied when a high impact, low creep application is needed. The grade also has excellent flowabilty, making intricate designs possible while retaining the resilience to sustain earth movements without breakage.
