Clariant MegaGuard 700 Catalyst – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of MegaGuard 700 in polymer processing?

A: MegaGuard 700 is a high-performance catalyst designed to promote efficient crosslinking and thermal stabilization in peroxide-cured elastomers and thermosetting polymers, helping to enhance scorch safety, improve cure uniformity, and support consistent final part properties.


Q2: Is MegaGuard 700 compatible with common elastomeric systems such as EPDM, NR, and SBR?

A: Yes — MegaGuard 700 demonstrates broad compatibility with natural rubber (NR), synthetic rubbers including EPDM and SBR, and selected thermoset compounds where controlled peroxide activation is required. Compatibility should always be verified under actual processing conditions and formulation matrices.


Q3: How is MegaGuard 700 typically incorporated into a compound?

A: It is generally introduced during the masterbatch or final mixing stage using standard internal mixers or two-roll mills. Due to its solid particulate form, it disperses readily in rubber matrices and is typically used at low concentrations — dosage depends on formulation requirements and desired cure kinetics.


Q4: Does MegaGuard 700 require special handling or storage conditions?

A: MegaGuard 700 should be stored in a cool, dry place, protected from moisture and direct sunlight. While not classified as hazardous for transport under normal conditions, standard industrial hygiene practices — including dust control and appropriate PPE during handling — are recommended to minimize exposure.
