According to Borstar's patented technology and more than 50 years of experience in polyolefins, Borouge supports key industries including infrastructure, automotive and advanced packaging. Borstar and BNT nucleation technology are widely used in the production of films, fibers and thermoformed products. In addition, these technologies are also used in injection molding and blow molding of polyolefin products to promote innovation in applications such as plastic bottle packaging, caps and closures, thin-walled packaging, transportation packaging and household goods. Borouge is a joint venture established by Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), one of the world's major oil companies, and Borealis Chemical, a leading Austrian-based chemical and plastics solution provider. Borouge combines the most advanced technology with world-class innovation and is changing our daily lives.
Innovative, value-added plastic solutions
In recent years, there have been many innovative products in the beverage industry, including reducing unnecessary packaging to further reduce household waste, reducing carbon emissions, and adopting more cost-effective product solutions. Packaging plays a vital role in protecting food and reducing waste. Therefore, despite the use of less materials, these packaging solutions still need to maintain the same performance to ensure the quality, safety and functionality of the product. As a leading provider of innovative value-added plastic solutions, Borouge is committed to meeting these challenges and has created sensory HDPE beverage covers and finishing shrink film solutions for beverage packaging.
Lightweight sensory HDPE beverage closure change
Borouge Reduces Use of Beverage Packaging Materials for Sustainable Development
With the lightweight, standard short-necked sealing caps (standard PCO1881) growing rapidly in the global beverage industry, Borouge has introduced BorPure MB5568 and MB5569, two advanced materials in its BorPureTM high-density polyethylene (HDPE) family, to accommodate Global beverage industry, the trend of lightweight caps and closures. Both materials are high-density polyethylene with good sensory properties and are suitable for sealing caps for carbonated drinks, teas and juices. BorPureMB5568 material does not contain slip aids, but BorPureMB5569 material contains slip aids for optimal torque performance.
Due to the enhanced design capabilities of Borstar polymers, Borstar multi-peak sensory HDPE materials in the existing BorPure material family have already achieved excellent environmental cracking resistance, and the new BorPure MB5568/9 material has increased by 50%, while the hardness There is also a 10% increase.
Since BorPure MB5568/9 material is equivalent to the unimodal MFR2HDPE resin material used as a benchmark in terms of fluidity and processability, it guarantees end-use customers' appearance and performance while leaving enough room for further weight reduction. BorPure MB5568/9 material and other BorPure materials do not impart odor to the bottle - this monitoring data ensures consistent quality of each batch of product.
BorPure MB5568/9 innovative materials have emerged in the beverage industry over the past few years. Since plastic resins account for most of the cost of the bottles, the main concern of brand owners is how to reduce the bottle's own preform weight from the very beginning. In 2006, the International Beverage Technology Association released a new PCO1881, a lightweight, short-necked, sealing cap that replaces the original PCO1810 standard. The new standard stipulates that the sealing lid can reduce weight by 20-30%. This trend is also reflected in the transition from a two-piece PP seal cover to a single-piece HDPE seal cover, which achieves material and cost savings without sacrificing seal and barrier properties, and brings convenience to end consumers.
This is the advantage of BorPureMB5568/9 material, because the unique Borstar technology platform can significantly improve the material's resistance to environmental stress cracking (ESCR) and hardness, and meet the requirements of lightweight caps without sacrificing functionality. In order to achieve the customization of the mechanical and processing properties of PE materials. This research and development undoubtedly enhanced the competitiveness of the product and promoted the sustainable development of the beverage industry as a whole.
