Clariant MegaMax 700 Catalyst – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary application of MegaMax 700 in polymer processing?

A: MegaMax 700 is a highly active cobalt-based catalyst designed primarily for the crosslinking of unsaturated polyester resins and vinyl ester systems, especially in demanding composite manufacturing processes such as pultrusion, filament winding, and RTM.


Q2: How does MegaMax 700 compare to traditional cobalt naphthenate catalysts in terms of reactivity and handling?

A: MegaMax 700 offers significantly enhanced catalytic efficiency and improved storage stability compared to conventional cobalt naphthenates. Its optimized solubility and reduced volatility support more consistent dosing and lower risk of premature gelation during resin preparation and processing.


Q3: Is MegaMax 700 compatible with common accelerators like dimethylaniline (DMA) or cobalt octoate blends?

A: Yes — MegaMax 700 is fully compatible with standard amine and metal-based accelerators used in peroxide-cured systems. It is engineered to work synergistically with common accelerators without compromising pot life or final cure profile.


Q4: What are the recommended storage conditions to maintain product performance?

A: Store MegaMax 700 in its original sealed container at temperatures between 5 °C and 30 °C, protected from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures or freezing conditions to preserve catalytic activity and solution homogeneity.


Q5: How should dosage be adjusted when switching from another cobalt catalyst to MegaMax 700?

A: Due to its higher specific activity, MegaMax 700 is typically used at lower concentrations than conventional cobalt catalysts. Start with a 30–50% reduction relative to your current cobalt system and fine-tune based on gel time, exotherm profile, and mechanical properties in your specific formulation.
