Clariant HyMax Series Catalyst – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of the HyMax Series catalysts in polymer processing?

A: The HyMax Series catalysts are designed to enhance crosslinking efficiency and improve thermal stability during high-temperature polymer processing—particularly in peroxide-cured elastomers and thermoset systems. They help achieve more consistent cure profiles and reduce scorch sensitivity without compromising final mechanical properties.


Q2: Are HyMax catalysts compatible with common elastomeric matrices such as EPDM, silicone, and fluoroelastomers?

A: Yes, HyMax catalysts demonstrate broad compatibility across saturated and unsaturated elastomer systems, including EPDM, silicone, FKM, and ACM. Performance optimization may require formulation adjustment depending on base polymer polarity, filler content, and curing system composition.


Q3: How should HyMax catalysts be incorporated into a compound?

A: HyMax catalysts are typically added during the final mixing stage—after base polymer, fillers, and curatives—to ensure uniform dispersion and minimize premature reactivity. They are supplied as free-flowing powders or masterbatches and are generally used at low concentrations, with dosage depending on formulation requirements and desired cure kinetics.


Q4: Do HyMax catalysts require special handling or storage conditions?

A: HyMax catalysts should be stored in cool, dry conditions away from direct sunlight and moisture. While they are stable under normal ambient handling, prolonged exposure to high humidity or elevated temperatures may affect dispersibility and performance consistency over time.
