Clariant HDMax 200 Catalyst – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of HDMax 200 in polymer processing?

A: HDMax 200 is a high-performance peroxide decomposition catalyst designed to selectively control crosslinking kinetics in thermoplastic elastomers and polyolefin-based compounds—particularly during dynamic vulcanization or reactive extrusion processes.


Q2: Is HDMax 200 compatible with common peroxides used in TPE formulations?

A: Yes, HDMax 200 is engineered for compatibility with widely used organic peroxides such as dicumyl peroxide and 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di(tert-butylperoxy)hexane, enabling precise tuning of scission versus crosslinking balance in EPDM/PP TPVs.


Q3: How does HDMax 200 affect final compound properties compared to conventional catalysts?

A: HDMax 200 promotes more uniform crosslink distribution and reduced gel formation, often resulting in improved melt stability, enhanced tensile recovery, and better long-term compression set performance—especially in demanding automotive and sealing applications.


Q4: What are typical handling and storage recommendations for HDMax 200?

A: HDMax 200 should be stored in its original sealed container under cool, dry conditions away from direct sunlight and strong oxidizing agents. It is recommended to process within 12 months of receipt and to avoid prolonged exposure to ambient humidity during handling.


Q5: Can HDMax 200 be used in food-contact or medical-grade polymer systems?

A: HDMax 200 is not pre-approved for direct food-contact or implantable medical applications. Its suitability for regulated end uses must be evaluated case-by-case through full formulation testing and compliance verification with applicable regional regulatory frameworks.
