Borstar® HE6062A

Borstar HE6062A is a black 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 HE6062A contains carbon black to provide good weathering performance. 

Applications 

Borstar HE6062A is designed for jacketing of energy cables. The physical toughness and very low water permeability of the compound make it an ideal solution especially for  buried power cables. Borstar HE6062A offers a balance of properties giving advantages in manufacturing,  installation and lifetime performance of energy and communication cables.
