Q1: What is the primary function of ReforMax 210 LDP in polyolefin processing?
A: ReforMax 210 LDP is a low-dust, free-flowing peroxide-based catalyst designed to initiate controlled rheology (CR) degradation of polypropylene and other polyolefins during extrusion or compounding, improving melt flow properties while maintaining mechanical performance.
Q2: How does the LDP (Low-Dust Pellet) form factor benefit industrial handling?
A: The spherical, free-flowing pellet format minimizes dust generation during dosing and mixing, enhancing operator safety, reducing equipment contamination, and enabling more consistent feeding in automated gravimetric systems compared to conventional powders or pastes.
Q3: Is ReforMax 210 LDP compatible with common polypropylene grades used in fiber, film, and injection molding applications?
A: Yes — it is widely used across homopolymer and copolymer PP grades, including those for spunbond and meltblown nonwovens, BOPP films, and thin-wall packaging. Compatibility should be verified under actual process conditions due to variations in stabilizer packages and thermal history.
Q4: What are key storage and handling recommendations?
A: Store in original sealed packaging at temperatures below 25 °C and protect from moisture, direct sunlight, and sources of heat or ignition. Avoid prolonged exposure to ambient air during handling, and use within recommended shelf life as indicated on the batch-specific label.
