Borstar HE6068 is a natural, UV-stabilised, colourable, bimodal high density (HD) jacketing compound, which is produced with the Borealis proprietary Borstar bimodal process technology.
Borstar technology allows the manufacturing of polymers outside the traditional MFR and density range making it possible to optimize processability, reduce shrinkage and yet provide excellent physical toughness and environmental stress crack resistance (ESCR).
Borstar HE6068 contains a well dispersed UV-stabiliser in sufficient amount providing a measure of weathering resistance.
Applications
Borstar HE6068 is designed for: Submarine and fibre optical cables
Borstar HE6068 offers substantially reduced shrinkage which helps to maintain low signal attenuation for fibre optic communication cables and low jacket retraction for energy cables in combination with excellent mechanical and barrier properties. Borstar HE6068 offers a balance of properties giving advantages in manufacturing, installation and lifetime performance of communication and energy cables.
