BOREALIS' BORSTAR JACKETING SELECTED BY TRANSVOC FOR RAILROAD ADSS NETWORK
22 March 2000 - Borealis A/S
| Borealis, the leading supplier of polyethylene to the wire and cable industry, has been selected by Transvoc to supply its Borstar Jacketing for the Railroad ADSS network. Established only 3 years ago, Transvoc has become one of the leading Russian manufacturers of fibre optic cables and accessories. Transvoc supplies long-haul and regional fibre optic communication lines to for example the Ministry of Railways and telecommunication providers. Most of Transvoc's fibre optic cable production is ADSS type designed for aerial installation along railway contact routes on high voltage lines up to 110 kV. Since late 1998 Transvoc has been using Borealis' Borstar Jacketing grade, HE6062 for these cable types. "Processability, quality consistency and cleanliness are the selection criteria why Borealis' HE6062 is chosen by Transvoc," says Denis V. Starikov, Head of Transvoc's Marketing Department. |

Transvoc was able to meet the new stringent Fibre Optical Cable Jacketing specifications by changing from LDPE to HDPE. "The processability of HE6062 is comparable to the previously used LDPE grades," comments Mr. Starikov. Transvoc plans to produce 17,000 km of ADSS cable during this year.
