Clariant OxyMax Series Catalyst – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of the OxyMax Series Catalyst in polymer processing?

A: The OxyMax Series Catalyst is designed to accelerate oxidative degradation of polyolefins under controlled thermal and atmospheric conditions—enabling efficient, targeted polymer chain scission for applications such as controlled rheology modification or recycling support.


Q2: Is OxyMax compatible with common polyolefin resins like PP and HDPE?

A: Yes, OxyMax catalysts are formulated for compatibility with a broad range of polyolefins, including homopolymer and copolymer polypropylene (PP), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), and are typically incorporated via melt compounding.


Q3: How is OxyMax typically dosed during compounding?

A: Dosage depends on formulation requirements and target molecular weight reduction, but OxyMax is generally used at low concentrations—typically ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight relative to the base polymer—and is often pre-dispersed or masterbatched for uniform distribution.


Q4: Does OxyMax require special handling or storage conditions?

A: To maintain optimal performance, OxyMax should be stored in its original sealed packaging under cool, dry conditions, protected from moisture and direct sunlight. Avoid prolonged exposure to ambient humidity prior to processing.


Q5: Can OxyMax be used in food-contact or medical-grade polymer applications?

A: OxyMax is not intended for use in final food-contact or medical devices unless explicitly approved through independent regulatory assessment and supported by full compliance documentation—users must verify suitability per applicable regional regulations and end-use requirements.
