High Voltage Alternating Current (HVAC) – 230kV from Borouge​

Borlink™ LS4201S is intended for power cables of up to 230kV and a maximum operating stress of 10kV/mm. Produced under superior cleanliness levels synonymous with the propriety Borlink™ technology, Borouge is able to offer an extended range of tailored XLPE solutions with varying cleanliness specifications, giving producers greater flexibility of design to meet the specific functional requirements of their products. Borouge manufactured LS4201S has been type- tested in accordance with IEC 62067 at a rated voltage of 127/220 (245) kV​​

 

High Voltage Alternating Current (HVAC) – 161kV from Borouge

Developed on Borlink™ technology with cutting-edge low-scorch base resin, Borlink™ LS4201H features the benefits of superior scorch security and reliability for long production campaigns and a reduced degassing burden. Since its successful introduction in 2018, LS4201H has become firmly established in the 110kV segment or applications with a design operating stress of up to 7kV/mm.

Cables produced with LS4201H are also fully type tested under the GB/T 11017 and IEC 60840 international standards, demonstrating the consistency and robustness of Borouge’s XLPE solutions under the most challenging of test conditions.

Medium Voltage Solutions from Borouge​

High productivity XLPE solutions from Borouge allow producers to generate increased output and longer campaign runs to achieve greater production flexibility and lower overall production costs while maintaining consistency and quality. They also have a wider processing temperature window and low scorch generation, allowing for extended production runs and higher outputs as compared to conventional, homogeneous XLPE solutions; producers can run extrusion lines with better efficiency, maximise output and produce longer lengths of cable per production run.

Low Voltage Solutio​ns from Borouge​

Visico™/Ambicat™ XLPE solutions for low voltage (LV) applications allows producers to enjoy greater productivity, output and cost efficiency. With a reactor made base material, Visico™ has an unparalleled scorch performance which enables non-stop production runs of up to one month. Used in combination with Visico™, our Ambicat™ catalyst is produced with sulphonic acid as a base – a greener alternative to harmful organic tin additives. Moreover, it generates a faster cross linking process, which in turn, facilitates the curing of the insulation layer at ambient conditions, omitting the need for a water bath or sauna.
