Petrochemical company Borouge has introduced Anteo, the new family of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) packaging grades in the South-East Asian packaging market.
Conducted jointly with Borealis, the global launch of Anteo was held last month in Austria, the UAE and China.
The new product line uses Borealis borstar bimodal terpolymer (BBT) technology and can be used in multilayer flexible packaging applications.
In addition to offering superior processability, Anteo was stated to exhibit other high-performance attributes, including flexibility, toughness, purity and sealability.
Borouge marketing senior vice-president Michael Pell said: “Borouge is always looking to develop new solutions that create value in the packaging industry.
“Anteo’s processability and sealing performance clearly deliver superior efficiency, reliability, and quality in both film conversion and in the packaging of consumer and industrial goods.
