TABOREX® TA 1137 MD
- Chemical Family
- Polyethylene Cross-Linked (PEX)PolyethylenesPolyolefins
TABOREX® TA 1137 MD is a crosslinkable compound made by Silane grafted ethylene polymer. This graft polymer constitutes together with a TABOREX® Masterbatch containing the crosslinking catalyst a “SIOPLAS-SYSTEM”. Pipes which are produced with the SILON grade TABOREX® TA 1137 MD fulfill the requirements of ASTM F876, CSA 137.5, EN ISO 15875, BS 7291 and all related standards. This system allows the compound to be extruded 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.

- Storage and Handling
TABOREX TA 1137 MD has a shelf life of nine months from the production date printed on the packaging. The packages should be stored in dry conditions at ambient temperature below 30 °C and protected from UV light. The packages should be opened only before processing and after opening of the inliner the product must be used within 3–4 hours.
- Processing Guidelines
The following methods are recommended: • Autoclave using saturated steam at 100–115 °C (optimal methode) • By immersion in hot water at 80–95 °C • Exposure to low pressure steam The period required to obtain the final gel content depends on the wall thickness and the temperature. The exposure times are in the range of 4–8 hours.
