"In an interwoven, complex and digital world, reliable and high performing

power and telecommunications infrastructures are fundamentals to the

development and economic growth of a country. Technology has transformed human

advancement, and it is imperative for our solutions to match that level of

sophistication that facilitates continuous progress. Our expanding portfolio of

innovative materials in the power transmission, telecommunications and

halogen-free flame retardant (HFFR) cable industries will enable our customers'

investments in each respective field, as we jointly create a more sustainable

future for the next generation," said Bambang Candra, Asia Pacific commercial

vice president for Dow Packaging and Specialty Plastics.

Reliable Solutions for the Power Industry

With increased urbanization and electricity consumption from digital systems

worldwide, power utilities are turning to underground and undersea high voltage

(HV) and extra-high voltage (EHV) power "superhighways". To support such

complex infrastructures, Dow brings to the market a comprehensive set of

solutions of world-class compounds and technology with long-term reliability to

ensure long-life cable performance while reducing total life-cycle costs.

Dow's suite of power solutions, ENDURANCE(TM)compounds for cable system, is a

family of insulation, semi-conductive and jacketing materials for HV, EHV and

High Voltage direct current (HVDC) cable constructions that provide reliable

performance with greater transmission capacity at higher voltages. The latest

solution, ENDURANCE(TM) HFDC-4201 SC, offers exceptional cleanliness, fast

degassing and scorch-resistant for long-running extrusion cable especially in

HV submarine cables.

High-speed Solutions for Telecommunications

Technological advancements in cloud computing, the Internet of Things and video

streaming have significantly transformed the telecommunications industry. While

the requirements have rapidly changed, the focus continues to be on the

delivery of speedier networks. The wide range of telecommunications solutions

from Dow offers reliable short-distance data transmission with copper data

cable with improved performance through low loss at high frequencies, and

long-distance as well as high-speed fiber optic cable solutions that provide

good protection with ease of installation.

AXELERON(TM) telecom cable compounds for jacketing of fiber optic cable

increase efficiency for cable manufacturers and reduce total cost of ownership

for telecom operators. AXELERON(TM) 6924 for CAT 6a/7 data cable offers high

expansion rates of 40 to 70 percent and uniform foam structure for stable

signal transmission and high speeds with improved production efficiency by

enabling line speeds of 1,400 m/min.

One-Stop Shop for Halogen-free FR

New regulations across the globe are prompting cable manufacturers to adopt

low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) materials for insulation and jacketing. In

addition to high performance FR compounds, Dow's robust offering of polar and

non-polar polyolefin resins and elastomers and silicone additives also provides

formulators a single source for basic and advanced HFFR components.
