Borstar® ME6052

About
Borstar ME6052 is a black bimodal polyethylene 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 ME6052 contains 2.5% well-dispersed carbon black in order to ensure excellent weathering resistance. Applications Borstar ME6052 is designed for: Jacket for energy and communication cables Borstar ME6052 offers a balance of properties giving advantages in manufacturing, installation and lifetime performance of communication and energy cables. Specifications Borstar ME6052 meets the applicable requirements as below when processed using sound extrusion practice and testing procedure: ASTM D 1248 Type II, Class C, Category 4, Grade E8, E9, J4 ISO 1872-PE, KCHL, 33 D-006 The following cable material standards are met by Borstar ME6052: EN 50290-2-24 DMP 2, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15 Cables manufactured with Borstar ME6052 using sound extrusion practice normally comply with the following cable product standards: IEC 60502, Part 2, Type ST7 IEC 60708 IEC 60840, Type ST7 HD 603 S1, DMP 5, 7, 8 DIN VDE 0818 HD 620 S2, Part 1, table 4B, DMP 2, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15 UL 1072 Oil resistance I & II Special Features Borstar ME6052 consists of specially selected components to offer: Superior processability Excellent environmental stress cracking resistance (ESCR) Good abrasion & scratch resistance Low water permeability Superior heat deformation Good petroleum-jelly resistance Outstanding UV resistance Low shrinkage Good surface hardness&&
