Construction & Durables

Construction & Durables sector gathers all the long lasting applications with high technology content.
INEOS Polyolefins provides a complete range of resins suited for each of the applications below:

1.  CAR FUEL TANK (CFT)

The market of car fuel tanks is turning completely to polyethylene which gives many advantages.  One of the major one is the possibility to mold complex shapes which fit perfectly in the car structure and bodywork..  Such resins need to combine various properties such as a good flowability and impact strength at low temperature. 

The fulllfilment of the latest regulations on emission is met by the use of polythylene n combination with specific surface treatment or by use of the coextrusion process.

INEOS Polyoelfins fills in a portfolio with highly technical products specifically designed for the blow moulding process of car fuel tanks
2.  PIPES (including Fitting injections, resins for PEX applications and Steel Pipe Coating)

Nowadays in Europe, drinking water and gas networks are mainly made of polyethylene. Main types of polyethylene used are the so-called PE80 and PE100 grades classified according to EN and ISO standards for transport of drinking water and gas under pressure.

More recently, new challenges rise in this market. New installation techniques are used and engineering as well as gas and water companies are increasing their requirements. INEOS Polyolefins release the market pressure from their customers by proposing new materials with outstanding properties in term of low sagging during extrusion or stress cracking resistance to fit with these new needs.

INEOS Polyolefins is a founding member of PE100+ Assocation.
The hot and cold water market is turning more and more to plastics solutions. Crosslinked polyethylene pipes have a big market share. Processability during extrusion of the pipes is a key property. INEOS Polyolefins is hot on the spot by proposing the best in class resin for silane (PEX b) technologies, both one step and Sioplas.


3.  ROTOMOULDING

The rotomoulding industry is very diverse with a lot of techniques.  Despite this number of tools and processing conditions, one common parameter remains key for all rotomolder: the processability of the resin.
INEOS Polyolefins provides the rotomoulding industry with resins of very good flowability to fit with our customer needs.

4.  SHOTGUN CARTRIDGE

Extrusion and stretching are the two key steps of the shotgun cartridge industry. A fit for purpose resin for this application must demonstrate a good flowability and a high melt strength to provide the highest procudtion speed and draw ratio.

INEOS Polyolefins hits the target with Eltex® grades. Eltex® grades are recognized to have on of the best balance of properties.
5.  WIRE and CABLE (W&C)

The Wire and Cable industry is a very general term for a market requiring very different and specific properties. Telecom, low voltage or high voltage business have their own technical needs. Processability is one common requirement but other properties will be key to each one.

INEOS Polyolefins is the supplier of Plug & Play resins in which our customers will find high quality and very constant properties to ensure a stable production.
