Established as a polyamide filament yarn producer in 1950, Silon spent the following 50 years expanding its product portfolio into a variety of other areas, including PET staple fibre and non-wovens, injection moulding and compounding. In 2001, the company’s management decided to concentrate its future efforts in polymer compounding and PET fibre production, selling off its other activities.

Silon’s compounding activities are focused on high performance polyethylene and polypropylene compounds for high performance and technical applications. It has three principal product lines: Taborex cross linkable polyethylenes (including PEX and XLPE types), Tabond maleic anhydride grafted polymers, and Taboren filled and modified polyolefins. Applications include building, infrastructure, automotive and personal care industries.


Product strengths:


The company focuses on technical compounds designed to meet individual and demanding customer specifications. Its competence centre includes compounding and cable lines, plus autoclave capability.
