Borstar® HE6069

Borstar HE6069 is a black laser printable, UV-stabilised 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 HE6069 contains a well dispersed UV-stabiliser in sufficient amount providing a measure of weathering  resistance. 

Applications

Borstar HE6069 is designed for: For Fiber Optical Cables that needs to be printed with Laser  printing technique  

Borstar HE6069 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 HE6069 offers a balance of properties giving advantages in manufacturing,  installation and lifetime performance of communication and energy cables.
