Borouge will be showcasing its high-performance wire and cable solutions at Wire & Tube China 2006 – the world’s biggest trade fair for wires and cables as well as tube manufacturing and processing technologies – to be held at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre in Pudong from September 25 - 28, 2006.

The companny will demonstrate how its Borstar Enhanced Polyethylene (PE) and range of products, sourced from one of its owners, Borealis A/S, addresses the specific needs of wire and cable manufacturers. Borouge is the exclusive source of Borealis’ speciality polyolefins in the Middle East and Asia Pacific. Borealis has more than 40 years of experience in providing high-quality polyolefin compounds to the wire and cable market and is the world leader in this market segment.
Borouge is also launching a new grade to Borealis’ Supercure high productivity energy cable compound product portfolio by offering a crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation solution for long-term performance cables. The first of its kind, Supercure LC8205 combines water tree retardant properties with faster crosslinking, ensuring longevity of the cable and quick production runs benefiting both cable makers and power distributors.
Supercure productivity enhan-cement technology ensures that LC8205 maintains the high level of cable quality whilst at the same time increasing cable plant productivity. Crosslinking occurs faster in the curing tube, allowing a 30 per cent increase in line speed. Reduced production costs result from the higher productivity.
The enhanced water tree retardant copolymer technology achieves outstanding results by reducing the growth of water trees thus extending cable lifetime. Supercure LC8205 is developed to meet industry standards for accelerated wet ageing, including Cenelec HD 620 (2000).
Borouge will also feature jacketing products, based on the Borstar technology process.
