Product Description
A chemically-crosslinkable HDPE compound for the production of pipes for domestic hot and cold water, under floor heating and central heating application. It is specially designed to achieve an improved surface quality in co-extrusion or monolayer production processes.

TA 1118 HD is a crosslinkable compound made by Silane grafted ethylene polymer. This graft polymer constitutes together with a Masterbatch containing the crosslinking catalyst a "SIOPLAS-SYSTEM". Pipes produced with the SILON grade TA 1118 HD fulfil the requirements of ASTM F876-99a, ASTM F877-99a, CSA 137.5-99, DIN 16892 and all related standards.

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