Based on the Borealis proprietary Borstar® technology, Borstar® Nextension Technology offers a new horizon for polypropylene by setting new standards in performance-based polyolefins built on the strong foundation of the Borstar platform.
The Borstar Nextension technology yields synergistic effects resulting from the combination of proven Borstar performance based on multimodality and the controlled incorporation of the comonomer; and the novel, single-site Borstar Nextension catalysts.
The Borstar Nextension technology is a step change for PP performance because
Its outstanding performance properties enable the use of only one material instead of many in multilayer applications. In a large number of applications, these circular packaging designs may include non-virgin grades like those from the Bornewables™ portfolio of circular polyolefins manufactured with second generation renewable feedstock; or from the transformative Borcycle™ portfolios containing grades made of polyolefins-based, post-consumer recyclate.
This universal solution sets new standards by enabling material substitution in multilayer, multimaterial-based applications and thus providing mono-material solutions in a range of industries:
For mobility applications, the Borstar Nextension Technology will enable purity levels beyond today’s automotive industry requirements with reduced odour and volatiles in automotive interior and exterior applications.
In sum, using Borstar Nextension technology in the production of PP applications helps close the loop on plastics circularity while pushing performance boundaries.
