A chemically-crosslinkable HDPE compound for the production of flexible pipes for domestic hot and cold water, under floor heating and central heating application, with improved resistance for chlorinated water.

TABOREX TA 1160 CL is a crosslinkable compound made by Silane grafted ethylene polymer. This graft polymer constitutes together with a TABOREX Masterbatch containing the crosslinking catalyst a “SIOPLAS-SYSTEM”. Pipes which are produced with the SILON grade TABOREX TA 1160 CL fulfil the requirements of ASTM F876, CSA 137.5, EN ISO 15875, BS 7291 and all related standards.

This system allows the compound to be extruded as a normal thermoplastic polymer and will attain a high level of crosslinking in the processed form. The final product provides all the superior properties associated with crosslinked polyethylene.
