Description
TABOCAB® cable compounds excel in providing superior solutions for low voltage applications suitable for construction, automotive, railway, industrial cables, solar cables and cables for devices producing energy from renewable sources.
Our comprehensive portfolio encompasses Sioplas cross-linkable compounds (XLPE), thermoplastic and cross-linkable HFFR compounds (LSF0H/HFFR; XLPE HFFR), as well as stabilization packages and catalyst masterbatches.
We have successfully offered high-grade PE-Xb on the pipe and cable market under the TABOREX® brand name since 1994. Since 2017, when we invested in high-end technology, we have been successfully supplying compounds to the cable market under its own TABOCAB® brand.
Our compounds stand out as the optimal choice for manufacturing power, renewable energy, control, signal and communication cables, in addition to automotive and e-mobility cables.
Benefits
What are the advantages of XLPE and HFFR TABOCAB® compounds?
XLPE provides a very low loss factor, a low dielectric constant and excellent insulation properties
— suitable for data and communication cables
XLPE has a high dielectric strength in combination with superior low-temperature flexibility
— suitable for automotive and railway applications
XLPE allows service temperatures up to 125°C and short-term maximum peak temperatures above 200°C without the danger of hydrochloric acid being released, as is the case in PVC
— suitable for solar cables
XLPE shows generally good chemical resistance to acids, organics and mineral oils. Due to its low water uptake, XLPE does not show the treeing effect like polar polymers
— suitable for power distribution cables
XLPE, in combination with LSF0H/HFFR jacketing, can be used in safety cable applications. LSF0H/HFFR materials have the same performance as standard halogenated materials without showing smoke, high toxicity or corrosiveness of fumes. These factors are the most critical, as lives can be saved in case of fire

Need technical support? Our technical experts are always ready to help you choose the right product for your application and support you in developing your technical process needs.
Technical support
Testing on our cable line allows us to recommend processing temperatures, define extrusion capabilities and process speed with regard to the strain on the extrusion line motors.
We test the mechanical properties of the product after the extrusion (strength, ductility, shrinkage and surface smoothness). We also test the colourability of our compounds and we can therefore recommend the amount needed to achieve the required product surface colour.
Customer satisfaction is our priority and so we never restrict ourselves to just delivering compounds. Technical support and the correct configuration of the processing mode on the customer’s equipment is a matter of course.
