Clariant ReforMax 100 RS Catalyst – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of ReforMax 100 RS in polyolefin processing?

A: ReforMax 100 RS is a highly efficient peroxide-based catalyst designed to promote controlled rheology modification—specifically, chain scission—of polypropylene and other polyolefins during extrusion or compounding. It enables targeted reduction in melt viscosity while supporting improved processability and enhanced mechanical balance in final products.


Q2: How does ReforMax 100 RS differ from conventional peroxide catalysts in terms of thermal stability?

A: ReforMax 100 RS features an optimized molecular structure that provides superior thermal latency compared to many standard peroxides. This allows for better handling during high-shear compounding and greater consistency in decomposition onset, reducing premature degradation risk and supporting tighter control over molecular weight distribution.


Q3: Is ReforMax 100 RS compatible with common polypropylene stabilizer systems?

A: Yes—ReforMax 100 RS has been formulated for compatibility with widely used phenolic antioxidants, phosphites, and hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS) in PP applications. However, optimal stabilization performance should be confirmed through application-specific testing, as interactions may vary depending on formulation complexity and processing conditions.


Q4: What are typical dosage guidelines for ReforMax 100 RS in PP homopolymer applications?

A: Dosage is formulation- and performance-dependent, but ReforMax 100 RS is typically used at low concentrations—generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight of the base polymer—to achieve desired melt flow rate (MFR) increases without excessive embrittlement. Precise levels should be determined via small-scale trials under representative processing conditions.
