- Applications
Borlink LS4201H is intended for insulation of XLPE power cables with maximum operating stress of 7kV/mm and rated voltages up to 161kV (Um = 170kV). The values are phase to phase voltages as defined in IEC 60183.
- Processing Technique
To produce a good and reliable cable, it is essential to ensure careful and very clean handling of the insulation material. Hence all material handling should preferably be conducted in closed systems and in clean room conditions. We recommend the use of screen packs on extruders for all XLPE materials.

Storage & Handling
- Storage
Borlink LS4201H has a shelf life of 24 months from production date if stored in unopened original packages, under dry and clean conditions at temperatures between 10 - 35 °C (50 - 95 °F). The material could be stored at an ambient temperature up to 40°C for up to 6 months in unopened original packaging and under dry and clean conditions. Material shelf life is affected by storage conditions and extreme conditions influence the general material quality and performance. Before use, material shall be conditioned indoors (production room) at the ambient temperature. It is also recommended to ensure proper stock rotation by First In – First Out principles.
