21 June 2000 - Borealis A/S
| Ambicat, a new ambient curing catalyst system from Borealis for Visico moisture crosslinkable cables. Borealis has developed a new type of catalyst system for silane moisture curable low voltage power cables, based on a Tin-free compound. The system crosslinks silane copolymer much faster than previous technologies and is suitable for crosslinking also at ambient conditions without need for hot water/sauna. The system has a superior extrudability in terms of scorch retardancy and die drool build-up which permits longer extrusion runs still with excellent smooth insulation surface. |
