Borouge will exhibit its Borlink LS4201S Supercure XLPE for power cable insulation, which is rated to 230kV and is claimed to offer low scorch perfor- mance and reduced degassing compared to conventional XLPE. According to the company, the low scorch allows production of extensive cable lengths without the need for factory joints, which results in simplified installation and reduced risk of failure. The reduced degassing burden is said to shorten production lead-times and is particularly beneficial in long submarine cables for applica- tions such as wind farms. �

BASF will show the latest additions to its Ultrason P range of polyphenylsulphone (PPSU) compounds. Ultrason P2010 is a high flow grade suitable for injection moulding; Ultrason P3010 is a medium viscosity version that can be processing by extru- sion and injection stretch blow moulding. Both grades provide high strength, chemical resistance and long-term temperature stability up to 180°C, making them suitable for production of bottles requiring microwave or hot water sterilisation. The company will also present a new Ultramid Advanced N polyphthalamide (PPA) grade that is designed for production of connectors post-pro- cessed using surface mount technology (SMT). N2U40G7 is a PA9T grade said to offer the very good balance of high flow, toughness and flame retardancy required to produce the miniature thin-wall structures required for high power and data throughput electronic applications. The new compound is available in a range of colours and meets the heat distortion temperature requirement of more than 260°C necessary for SMT while its low moisture uptake ensures high dimen- sional stability. Target markets include power and data connectors in consumer electronics such as computers, laptops, servers, smart phones as well as smart household appliances and wearable devices. �

Beijing Jiihaichuan S&D will show two high performance nucleators for PP. The first is a stiffening nucleator that is claimed to provide a 5-10% increase in flexural modulus while also improving heat distortion temperature. The second nucleator is an antireflecting type and is said to improve rigidity while reducing haze, warpage and odour. The company says it is suitable for use for production of high transparency PP compounds as well as for automotive components. �

Changzhou Jwell Chemical Machinery will show its CJWS series twin screw extruder, which it says is designed to meet the requirements of demanding local and international compounding customers. The machine can be supplied with either a locally manufactured or imported high torque transmis- sion capable of delivering a specific torque of 12T/ A³. Barrels are lined with CR26 alloy steel and screw elements are manufactured in 6542 tung- sten-molybdenum high speed steel. Available from 32-132mm diameter and in L/D ratios of 24-68, the company says the design is suitable for compound- ing and colouring applications. �

Clariant, which inaugurated a new Additives R&D centre in its innovation centre at Shanghai earlier this year, will be promoting its product offering for what it describes as a strongly growing Chinese market for high-end additives. The company’s Chinaplas offering includes its AddworksPKG series of additives, which are designed to improve the inherent properties of polyolefins for packaging applications. Examples include AddWorks PKG 113, which is designed for high speed cast polypropylene (CPP) and biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) resins where it can
