Q1: What is the primary function of ReforMax 117 RR in polymer processing?
A: ReforMax 117 RR is a reactive catalyst designed to promote controlled crosslinking and structural reinforcement in thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) and thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) formulations, enhancing melt strength, dimensional stability, and mechanical resilience during extrusion and injection molding.
Q2: Is ReforMax 117 RR compatible with common polyolefin-based TPVs?
A: Yes — it is specifically formulated for compatibility with EPDM/PP-based TPVs and other polyolefin-rich thermoplastic elastomer systems. It demonstrates good dispersion and reactivity without compromising phase morphology or long-term thermal stability under typical processing conditions.
Q3: How should ReforMax 117 RR be incorporated into a compound?
A: It is typically introduced during the masterbatch stage or final compounding step using standard twin-screw extrusion equipment. Pre-drying is not required, and it disperses effectively at standard melt temperatures and shear rates used for TPV production.
Q4: Does ReforMax 117 RR affect the recyclability or reprocessing behavior of TPVs?
A: When used within recommended dosage ranges, it supports consistent performance across multiple processing cycles. Its reactive nature minimizes volatile by-products, contributing to stable rheology and reduced odor during reprocessing — though optimal recyclability depends on overall formulation design and thermal history.
