Borouge’s innovative materials used to shape world-scale infrastructure projects

- Borouge’s ‘Made in UAE’ polyethylene materials are used by a leading UAE pipe manufacturer to make 1.8 metre diameter pipes for the cooling water system of the new Borouge 4 complex

- Borouge continues to boost the sustainability of pipe networks by making them safer, longer lasting and more efficient with reduced carbon footprint compared to conventional pipes

Borouge Plc (“Borouge" or “the Company") (ADX symbol: BOROUGE / ISIN: AEE01072B225), a leading petrochemical company that provides innovative and differentiated polyolefin solutions, supplied its polyethylene material to a leading UAE pipe manufacturer to produce 1.8 metre diameter pipes that will be installed for the processing critical cooling water system at the new Borouge 4 project in Al Ruways Industrial City.

Union Pipes Industry (UPI), one of the MENA region’s manufacturers of large and durable pipes and a long-term value chain partner, used Borouge’s innovative materials to produce 2 kilometres of polyethylene pipes which have a flow rate of approximately 26,000 cubic meters per hour, equivalent to filling a 25-metre swimming pool in less than one minute. Localising the manufacturing of the pipes allowed for the production of very long length pipes, with each segment measuring 24 metres, unlike the industry standard of approximately
