Abstract: A conjecture of Borwein asserts that for any positive integers $n$ and $k$, the coefficient $a_{3k}$ of $q^{3k}$ in the expansion of $pro{d}_{j=0}^n(1-q^{3j+1})(1-q^{3j+2})$ is nonnegative. In this paper we prove that for any $0leqkleqn$, there is a constant $0<c<1$ such that ${\displaystyle }$a_{3k}+a_{3(n+1)+3k}+cdots+a_{3n(n+1)+3k}=frac {2cdot 3^{n}} {n+1}(1+O(c^n)).${\displaystyle }$ In particular, ${\displaystyle }$a_{3k}+a_{3(n+1)+3k}+cdots+a_{3n(n+1)+3k}>0.${\displaystyle }$
