Borstar HE6061 Borealis Polyethylene, High Density

Product Description

Borstar HE6061 is a black, bimodal, high density polyethylene compound, with a melt flow rate below 0.4 g/10 min.

It is characterised by its tailor-made properties important in jacketing applications i.e. low shrink back, excellent stress crack resistance and wide processing window.

Borstar HE6061 contains 2.5 % well-dispersed carbon black to ensure excellent weathering resistance.

Borstar HE6061 is intended for jacketing of power and communication cables. If very low shrink back is required, Borstar HE6067 is recommended.

Borstar HE6061 meets the applicable requirements as below when processed using sound extrusion practice and testing procedure:
