Typical applications of TAC and TAICROS®

TAC and TAICROS^® are used for

• Flexible pipes, hoses and heat shrink tubes for automotive, train or aerospace applications
• Gaskets and sealings for automotive and chemical industry applications
• Foams and damping materials for shoe soles, sport equipment and insulation applications
• Cable insulations for automotive, aerospace and marine applications
• Electrical and electronic components for automotive and electronic devices
• Optical lenses and speciality glasses
• Adhesives
• Coatings with high chemical resistance
• Solar module encapsulants

Why using TAC and TAICROS^®

The advantage of using TAC and TAICROS^® as coagents in peroxide or electron beam induced crosslinking is their ability to improve the crosslinking efficiency. This is advanatgeous in two directions. On one hand TAC or TAICROS^® can be added on top of the regular peroxide concentration to increase the crosslinking density and improve all properties aligned with this. On the other hand, a part of the peroxide can be replaced by TAC or TAICROS^® to reduce the disadvantages associated with the peroxide like volatile or toxic byproducts or blooming without a reduction of crosslinking degree. In cases where more expensive peroxides are required TAC and TAICROS^® also help to reduce cost.
