Wien/Austria (Borealis) – New R&D polymerization reactors to boost time-to-market for product solutions EUR 5.5 million investment part of Borealis step change in innovation strategy. Borealis, a leading provider of innovative, value creating plastics solutions, announces a significant breakthrough in its on-going strategy to accelerate product development and advance its step change innovation programme. The successful completion of laboratory reactors for polypropylene (PP) polymerization at Borealis’ Innovation Headquarters in Linz, Austria, heralds a new approach to the use of bench-scale reactors to accurately mimic a continuous pilot or plant process. This will result in faster product evaluations and the opportunity to bring innovations to the market more quickly at a substantially lower development cost.
The first polymerization was carried out in a laboratory PP reactor capable of mimicking Borealis’ proprietary Borstar technology. The polymerization showed excellent activity, process stability and polymer morphology.
The reactors will provide a reliable tool for accelerated product development in close co-operation with experts in catalysis, process and polymer design, various business units, pilot, plant and asset management. Key end-use markets for Borealis’ pioneering PP grades set to benefit from this investment include applications in infrastructure, automotive and advanced packaging.
