Borealis launches a unique high productivity, low voltage cable insulation material that will boost the competitiveness of cable manufacturers. Making its début at wire 2008, new Visico FX LE8823 delivers all-round advances in productivity and cost efficiency, resulting in higher output and increased profitability at the manufacturing stage with knock-on benefits for grid owners and installers.
Visico FX is an innovative base material for low voltage moisture cured XLPE cables which enables faster production of consistently high quality cables. Its outstanding crosslinking speed is twice that of traditional Visico material and typically more than five times that of grafted XLPE materials. This allows cost efficient curing under ambient conditions when used in combination with the Ambicat catalyst, resulting in a more efficient production flow by eliminating production steps and speeding up the overall production process.
By removing traditional bottlenecks from XLPE production, Visico FX shortens lead-times, reduces manufacturing complexity and lowers the potential for handling-related errors. At the same time, it delivers the environmental and cost-related benefits of reduced energy usage, and minimised handling and production space requirements.
In addition to the leading industry advances in curing speed, Visico FX improves productivity by delivering a consistent, high quality product with less down time required for cleaning. Suitable for running on standard extruder equipment, the new material shares the unique scorch retarder technology of standard Visico material. This creates a smooth production process with minimum change required, higher output and less scrap.
