Borouge and Borealis strengthen wire and cable biz

Borouge and Borealis, providers of innovative, value-creating plastics solutions, are strengthening their global leadership in the wire and cable industry through two major Borlink investment projects – the recently announced expansion of the crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) production facilities in Stenungsund and the ongoing Borouge 3 project in Abu Dhabi. These two projects would ensure the availability of high-quality compounds required for the most demanding applications in power cables globally.
After Borealis’ significant investment into a highly advanced high pressure low density polyethylene plant in Stenungsund, Sweden, inaugurated in 2010, Borealis is now investing in an XLPE capacity increase at the Stenungsund plant. This investment, which increases overall capacity by 20 kilotonnes, is being applied directly to Borlink extra high voltage (EHV), high voltage direct current (HVDC) and high voltage (HV) polyethylene compounds produced in closed or controlled loop processes.
