Borealis and Borouge have launched ‘Anteo’, a family of linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) packaging grades for packaging. Anteo delivers easy processability at lower extruder pressure, better sealing integrity and improved puncture resistance.
Boasting a unique combination of end-use properties for high-performance film applications, Anteo completes the full solution offer for high performance, multilayer flexible packaging applications using Borealis Borstar Bimodal Terpolymer (BBT) Technology.
Borouge makes Anteo at its Ruwais plant in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Borealis’ proprietary BBT Technology offers flexibility in polymer design by combining smart catalyst design with a superior, two-reactor system process with two comonomers, improving the processability of resins.
The Borstar Bimodal Terpolymer advance gives Anteo a bimodality in molecular weight, bimodality in density and comonomer incorporation. It can be processed at lower extruder pressure (over 15 per cent less than conventional metallocene LLDPE sealants), with the derived benefit of lower energy consumption, it can seal laminated and non-laminated film, making material use and energy expenditure more efficient, and advances puncture resistance to reduce spoiling.
