Baystar (Bayport Polymers LLC) announced October 2 a new era in high-performance polyethylene (PE) production and enhanced sustainability with the start-up of its new Bay 3 polyethylene unit. It will use Borstar technology from Borealis in North America for the first time while doubling Baystar's production capacity in Pasadena, TX.
Borstar is a transformative approach to production flexibility for manufacturers and converters seeking a broad range of highly customized products for lighter, more durable, more flexible, and more efficient plastics. Borstar products are PFAS-free and can enable more than 50% post-consumer recycled (PCR) material in some end products. Thanks to a broad molecular weight distribution, Borstar PE offers superior physical properties with no need for process aids or additives.
