Description

TABOPOL compounds are based on polystyren (PS), Polyamide 12 (PA12) or Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). Their performance is enhanced with glass fiber reinforcement or a halogen-free flame-retardant (HFFR) package.

Glass fiber content can be incorporated at levels up to 40%, while HFFR grades are developed to meet specific flammability requirements, including UL94 V0 classification.

TABOPOL compounds are designed for demanding technical applications such are automotive, electronics and appliances, construction, 3D printing, industrial components, sport equipment and electrical industry.

Glass fiber–reinforced compounds provide high mechanical strength, excellent dimensional stability, and superior thermal resistance, even under long-term load exposure.

Products produced with HFFR TABOPOL compounds are suitable for applications requiring flame resistence up to V0 according to UL94.

Benefits

What are the benefits of glass fibre reinforced TABOPOL compounds?  

The addition of glass fibre reinforcement enhances the mechanical properties of the base polymer. The resulting compound gains superior mechanical performance (tensile strength, flexural strength, compressive strength), improved dimensional stability, higher heat deflection resistance, and increased wear resistance. Thanks to these enhanced properties, TABOPOL glass fibre reinforced compounds can be used in more demanding applications and environmental conditions where standard polymers would not be sufficient.

What are the benefits of flame retardant TABOPOL compounds?  

The incorporation of flame retardant additive systems into the polymer matrix reduces the material's ability to ignite and propagate fire. HFFR compounds are self-extinguishing — once the ignition source is removed, flame propagation ceases. In the event of fire, the compounds release significantly less heat. The materials have a higher LOI (Limiting Oxygen Index), meaning a greater concentration of oxygen is required to sustain combustion. Thanks to these properties, TABOPOL HFFR compounds can be used in demanding applications where fire safety is a critical requirement.

PS-FR/PS-GF

PS-GF

Glass fibre-reinforced polystyrene is a structural thermoplastic that combines the advantages of standard polystyrene—easy processing, stiffness and good dielectric properties—with significantly enhanced mechanical strength and dimensional stability due to to the glass fibre content. This material is designed for applications where standard PS is insufficient, yet cost-effectiveness and ease of processing must be maintained.


TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

  • Construction Structural components, reinforcement elements, covers—where strength and dimensional stability are essential.
  • Electronics and Electrical Industry Housings, holders, connectors, and technical components requiring electrical consistency and precision.
  • Automotive Interior parts, covers, and load-bearing elements – ideal for applications demanding stiffness and thermal resistance.
  • Industrial Equipment Technical parts, profiles, panels—a reliable solution for demanding environments.


PS-FR

FR-PS is a modified polystyrene developed to meet increased demands for safety and flame resistance. It retains the typical advantages of standard polystyrene—easy processing, good rigidity, and cost efficiency—while offering a higher level of protection in applications where fire safety and compliance with relevant standards are critical


TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

  • Electronics and appliances device housings, switches, connectors, boards
  • Construction insulation panels and technical components requiring fire resistence
  • Automotive interior parts with reduced flammability requirements
  • Public spaces and equipment enclosures, covers, and components subject to strict safety regulations

PBT-FR/PBT-GF

PBT-FR

FR-PBT is a modified polybutylene terephthalate designed to meet high demands for safety and flame resistance. By incorporating flame-retardant additives, PBT-FR provides excellent electrical insulation and mechanical strength while achieving UL94 V 0 compliance applications.


TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

  • Automotive Electrical parts with reduced flammability requirements – housings, covers
  • Electronics and appliances device housings, switches, connectors, boards
  • Public spaces and equipment enclosures, covers, and components subject to strict safety regulations

 

PBT-GF

Glass fibre-reinforced polybutylene terephthalate is a structural thermoplastic that combines the advantages of standard polybutylene terephthalate—easy processing, stiffness and good dielectric properties—with significantly enhanced mechanical strength and dimensional stability thanks to the glass fibre content. This material is designed for applications where standard PBT is insufficient, yet cost effectiveness and ease of processing must be maintained.


TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

  • Automotive Structural parts, covers, connectors – ideal for applications demanding stiffness and thermal resistance.
  • Electronics and Electrical Industry Switchgear components, circuit breaker parts, coil formers requiring electrical consistency and precision.
  • Industrial sector Structural components, reinforcement elements, gears, pump housing—where strength and dimensional stability are essential.

PA12

Polyamide 12 is a technical thermoplastic from the polyamide family, produced by polymerizing laurolactam. Compared to commonly used PA6 and PA66, it has lower density, lower moisture absorption, and better dimensional stability. As a result, it retains its mechanical properties even under demanding conditions.


TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

  • Automotive fuel and brake lines, connectors, hoses, covers
  • Electronics cable insulation, connectors
  • Sports & Lifestyle protective elements, lightweight components with high toughness
  • Additive Manufacturing – 3D Printing excellent processability

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 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.
