Sustaining Polyolefin Innovation Leadership

To ensure that we can continue to provide advanced solutions for our customers, we are investing heavily in our innovation people, our Borstar and other proprietary technologies and in our working processes both internally and with our external partners.

Continuous polymer process development

Borstar polyolefin technology second generations, 2GPE and 2GPP, extend the Borstar benefits to a broader range of products with increased consistency. Key improvements to the latest generations of our technology include:

• Broader property range;
• New catalyst for both new and improved properties;
• Increased efficiency via new catalyst preparation and feeding;
• Enhanced Cooling Mode for (ECM) which distinguishes Borstar as the largest multimodal PE process available, 540 KTA already under construction with more to come;
• Reduced power consumption;
• Reduced consumption of diluent and monomer.

Innovation sustained by strategic prioritisation

As part of Borealis' overall growth strategy, our management is committed to the sustained development of our Innovation Centers. Our strategy is clear: 25% of Borealis Innovation Centers' investments are dedicated to long-term Research & Development projects, combining both our core competence with our leading technology processes.

In addition, Borealis' workforce includes a vibrant and competent technical community, accounting for 450 researchers, and makes a solid committment to promote the best and brightest innovations by offering its coveted annual award.
