Borealis, Borouge and Nova Chemicals answer to the tendencies of the society

Under the lemma 'Open Your Mind' the producers of poliolefinas Borealis, Borouge and Nova Chemicals (part of the family that conform International Petroleum Investment Company, IPIC, OMV and Abu Dhabi National Oil Company) present boards in the K (Hall 6, stand To43), although they are companies that operate separately.

In the field of the car the PP earns leadership with applications in the outside and inner and under the hood. His developments are oriented to the tendencies that expect until 2030: increase of the presence of trucks with the forecast of more than 225 by each one thousand inhabitants; reduction of the consumption of power and of the costs of manufacture; increase of the cities and the consistent effect in the urban mobility; growth of zones at present in phase of development. Like example of the possibilities of the PP, in the K will see a support of pedals of driving realizar with PP in replacement of the polyamide.

The progresses for other industries, as the one of the packs and packaging, for example, come of the hand of the investment in the new plant of catalysts of Linz (Austria), inaugurated in June of 2013. Thanks to them and the control that allow of the structure of the polymer, can answer to requirements like a perfect aesthetics, greater speeds of production of film or transparency.

On the other hand, Borealis Plastomers (before DexPlastomers) answers to the sector of the film and “non-film” with solutions for which need flexible products or of big capacity of sealed. They present the lines of product Exact (based in metalocenos) and Stamylex (linear polyethylenes). The main novelty in the range Exact is Queo. Also they show novelties in the field of the cables that reduce the losses in the transfer of power to big distances. Borlink Is the mark of compounds for half and high voltage. Other novelties, especially of PE and PEX, direct to the sector of the driving of water, with greater capacity of resistance to the desinfectantes.

To the hour to develop products the tendencies to half and long term are important. Like this, if in the year 2000 10% of the world-wide population had more than 60 years (606 million people), in 2050 this figure will go up to 21% (2.000 million people). The people of more than 60 years use until five times more products related with the health that the rest of the population. The volume of the poliolefinas destined to the health estimates in 1 million of tonnes. In this field stands out the launching of a new degree of Bormed (SB815MO) that improves the provision in one of the key points: the resistance to the temperatures of sterilisation.
