A chemically-crosslinkable HDPE compound for the production of injection moulded fittings for domestic hot and cold water and central heating applications.

TABOREX TA 3004 HD is a crosslinkable compound made of Silane grafted ethylene polymer. This graft polymer constitutes together with a TABOREX Masterbatch containing the crosslinking catalyst a “SIOPLAS-SYSTEM”. Articles which are produced with the SILON grade TABOREX TA 3004 HD 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 handled 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.
