Borealis and Borouge has announced its newly expanded high voltage testing centre in Stenungsund, Sweden.
Borealis and Borouge says four million has been invested to expand and equip the facility with cutting-edge testing equipment, which is unique among polymer producers and will allow new opportunities for collaboration with customers and value chain partners.
The scope of testing activities has been expanding steadily over decades, starting with testing on electrical cables and cable extrusion lines in 1986 and in 2009, a new three-layer Continous Vulcanisation (CV) extrusion line was installed.
The new Stenungsund HV testing centre offers alternate current (AC) and direct current (DC) simulation testing for the performance of commercial cable materials in the medium (MV), high (HV), and extra high voltage (EHV) ranges.
