Automotive Polypropylene is the dominant material for engineered plastics and advanced compounds that are increasingly replacing not only conventional materials such as metals but also other plastics including ABS, PA or PVC in an increasing number of applications in the automotives industry. Appliances Polyolefins, particularly Polypropylene(PP), offer a broad material choice, and during recent decades PP has become the dominant polymer chosen for new domestic appliances and houseware. Borouge, through our link with Borealis, Europe 's leading polyolefin producers for over three decades, has a unique ability to add value to the appliances and houseware industry. |

Borouge's Borstar petrochemical complex |
Borouge uses the innovative Borstar Technology at its US$1.2 billion petrochemical complex in Ruwais, in the United Arab Emirates, which in is operational since in end 2001. The 260-hectare plant comprises of a 600,000-tonne ethylene cracker and two polyethylene plants, each with an annual production capacity of 225, 000 tonnes of high-medium and linear low bimodal polyethylene. The plant is the first significant downstream petrochemical investment in the United Arab Emirates and the first in the region to incorporate Borstar technology.
The Borstar process produces innovative products which:
Give superior properties
Are used in a broad range of product application
Priced competitively
Exert less burden on the environment
Borouge 2, the major expansion project being undertaken by Borouge at its production facility in Ruwais, Abu Dhabi, will triple annual production capacity to two million tons of polyolefins. Borouge 2 will include the worlds biggest olefins conversion unit producing 752,000 tpa and two Borstar polypropylene plants with a combined annual capacity of 800,000 tpa, along with a new Borstar-enhanced polyethylene plant that will have an annual capacity of 540,000 tpa to complement the existing 600,000 tpa unit.
Borouge's bimodal polyethylene produced at its Borstar complex, is marketed primarily to the pipe, packaging and wire and cable industries in the Middle East, East Africa, the Indian Subcontinent, North East Asia, South East Asia, Australia and New Zealand.
Locating the facilities in Ruwais enables Borouge to deliver its high quality polyethylene products to its customers in the quickest and most cost efficient way. Borouge will also be introducing a new logistics and distribution system that will substantially shorten time-to-market processes, reduce delivery and operational costs.
This customer-driven approach involves a thorough discussion to review and analyse the unique requirements of each customer. Customers is also be able to draw on Borouge personnel's technical know-hows and skills. This ensures that customers enjoy not only the benefits of Borouge's polyethylene products, but also strong after-sales technical support.
To further reinforce its commitment to customers, Borouge is now in the process of setting up a state-of-the-art Innovation Centre in Abu Dhabi.
In order to establish high quality standards and certification schemes in Pressure Pipe industry, Borouge jointly with other value chain members of Pipe industry is setting up Gulf Plastics Pipe Academy (GPPA) in Abu Dhabi.
