| Borstar HE6069 is a black laser-printable, low-shrinkage, UV-stabilized 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-stabilizer in sufficient amount providing a measure of weathering resistance. Applications: Borstar® HE6069 is intended for following applications: Fiber Optical Cables that need to be printed with laser printing technique. Borstar® HE6069 offers substantially reduced shrinkage which helps to maintain low signal attenuation for fiber 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. Typical characteristics: - Superior processability
- Very good UV resistance
- Excellent abrasion & scratch resistance
- Very low shrinkage
- Low water permeability
- Excellent surface hardness
- Good petroleum-jelly resistance
