Description

TABOREX® represents a premium quality product line based on silane-grafted polyethylene (PE-Xb) technology designed for versatile applications. TABOREX® compounds are available for the production of pipes, tubes, fittings, films and more.

TABOREX® (PE-Xb) production process

SILON serves the market with products for the two major PE-Xb production processes: Sioplas and Monosil. Both technologies create a three-dimensional cross-linking network in the polyethylene matrix of the final products. 

In the Sioplas system, a TABOREX® silane-grafted compound is blended with a TABOREX® catalyst masterbatch prior to processing.

The Monosil technology involves grafting and manufacturing the final product in one step. Silmix — a blend of silane, a grafting initiator and specialized additives — is mixed with standard polyethylene and a stabilization package, and then it is extruded.

In both cases, the products must be cross-linked in the next production step. The cross-linking is accelerated by heat and moisture.

A range of TABORADD® processing aid additive masterbatches complete the TABOREX® product line, offering improved extrusion and product longevity.

Benefits

TABOREX® offers a cost-effective solution across a broad spectrum of application areas, bridging the gap between standard polymers and high-priced technical polymers. Its technical performance is marked by a high maximum service temperature, chemical resistance even under elevated temperature conditions, exceptional slow and rapid crack resistance, particularly at low temperatures. Advantages of the material are very good processability and extrusion speed. All grades are ready-to-use on standard extrusion or injection moulding lines.

TABOREX® compounds meet the latest hygienic and mechanical standards.

What are the advantages of pipes and other products made from TABOREX® compounds?

High chemical resistance
High chlorine resistance
High temperature resistance
Aging resistance
Pressure resistance
Impact resistance
Scratch resistance
High flexibility
Easy installation
Smooth surface finish

Applications

TABOREX® compounds are used for the safest drinking water pipes and other applications where high temperature and chemical resistance are required

  • Drinking water pipes
  • Fittings
  • Underfloor heating pipes
  • Gas pipes
  • Metal pipe coating
  • Rotational moulding
  • PE-Xb foam

Drinking water pipes

Pipes made with TABOREX material (PE-Xb) are highly resistant to chlorine, which is used in drinking water distribution systems to eliminate waterborne pathogens and microorganisms. Chlorination is the preferred chemical disinfection method currently used, but unfortunately, it has a negative impact on plastic piping systems. 

Pipes made with PE-Xb technology have one of the best resistances to chlorine compared to other plastic pipes. They are characterized by excellent durability, very long service life as well as flexibile and easy installation. They are the ideal choice for the construction of water distribution systems in homes, hospitals, hotels, water parks, spas and other public buildings, where preventive sanitization using chemicals and high water temperatures can be carried out without any worries.

Fittings

TABOREX® material offers a clear price advantage in this application compared to technical polymers, while meeting the mechanical standards. It is resistant to chlorine sanitization and meets the latest hygienic standards. The hydronic system using both TABOREX® pipes and TABOREX® fittings remains strong and reliable for many decades as all materials in the system are supported by strong cross-links.

Underfloor heating pipes

Household heating systems are based on the distribution of warm water using a pipeline system. The ideal material for central heating systems or for underfloor heating pipes is cross-linked polyethylene made using the silane TABOREX® (PE-Xb) method. Special grades of TABOREX® offer superior flexibility and durability for this application.

Gas pipes

The TABOREX® (PE-Xb) material is ideal for gas distribution. With the catalyst masterbatch, we can ensure that the outside of the pipe is yellow or white in colour.

Metal pipe coating

The protective layer made of TABOREX material (PE-Xb) provides excellent protection for metal pipes operating under high temperatures or in demanding conditions where they may come into contact with chemicals, oils or other substances.

51a8e3ad-rotational-moulding.jpeg

Rotational moulding

TABOREX® (PE-Xb) is perfectly suited for the production of rotomoulded products designed to be used under high temperatures or for the storage of aggressive chemicals. The superior  mechanical properties of PE-Xb compared to standard HDPE allows the production of thinner walled parts using less material. The excellent properties of these products directly encourage the use of TABOREX® (PE-Xb) material in applications for the marine industry.

TABOREX® (PE-Xb)  also brings similar benefits to blow moulding applications.

8df3daac-foam.jpeg

PE-Xb foam

Foam made from TABOREX® (PE-Xb) material offers a closed and steady cell structure. This is perfect for flame retardant as well as water- and moisture-resistant products. The material does not contain harmful substances found in other foams.  TABOREX® foam can be sterilized in autoclave chambers and it is proven to be durable against chemicals.
