Solutions for
pipe and fitting applications
Borealis is a leading provider of innovative solutions in the
fields of polyolefins, base chemicals and fertilizers. With
headquarters in Vienna, Austria, the company currently has
around 6,500 employees and operates in over 120 countries.
Borealis generated EUR 7.7 billion in sales revenue and a net
profit of EUR 988 million in 2015. The International Petroleum
Investment Company (IPIC) of Abu Dhabi owns 64% of the
company, the remaining 36% belonging to OMV, an international,
integrated oil and gas company based in Vienna. Borealis
provides services and products to customers around the world
in collaboration with Borouge, a joint venture with the Abu
Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC).
As a trusted and experienced partner with more than 40 years
of experience, Borealis supplies materials for advanced polyolefin
pipe systems that help the pipe industry better serve a variety of
communities worldwide.
Using its proprietary Borstar® technology as a base, Borealis
offers polyethylene and polypropylene materials for pipes used
in many different industries: water and gas supply, waste water
and sewage disposal, plumbing and heating, and oil and gas,
including multi-layer steel pipe coating solutions for onshore
and offshore oil and gas pipelines.
By offering more durable and reliable pipe solutions, Borealis’
step-change innovations continue to boost the sustainability
of pipe networks by making them safer, longer lasting and
more efficient, by helping eliminate wastage and loss whilst
at the same time offering energy savings. Borealis has been
a solution provider and one-stop shop for polyolefins in the
oil and gas industry providing reliable service and quality
from one end of the pipeline to the other. Water and sanitation
systems can be made more efficient and reliable by using
proprietary Borealis materials. Systems made of conventional
materials are struggling with water losses up to 30-50%,
whereas new PE pipe systems can avoid leakages. Trenchless
technology reduces installation costs by up to 60%.
Borealis pipe solutions are enabling life’s essentials.
