- Product Highlights
Borstar ME6056 contains 2.6 % well-dispersed carbon black to ensure excellent weathering resistance.
It is characterized by its tailor-made properties important in jacketing applications i.e. low shrink back, excellent stress crack resistance and wide processing window.
Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Plastics & Elastomers End Uses
- Applications
Borstar ME6056 is intended for jacketing of power and communication cables.
- Processing Guidlines
Borstar ME6056 provides excellent surface finish and high output rates over a broad range of conditions.
For extrusion standard PE-screws are recommended, but also screws designed for PVC can be used with good result.
To minimize shrink back hot cooling water, min 60°C in the first cooling trough is strongly recommended.
Suggested melt temperature is in the range of 190 -210 °C dependant of construction and line speed.
If material preheating/pre-drying is used maximum recommended temperature is 90ºC.
