Features Of Clariant ReforMax 400 GG Catalyst

  1. Highly selective for hydrodechlorination and hydrogenation reactions in chlorinated hydrocarbon streams.

  2. Thermally stable up to 350 °C, enabling robust performance in demanding reforming and purification processes.

  3. Low dust generation and excellent mechanical strength for extended bed life in fixed-bed reactors.

  4. Optimized nickel–molybdenum active phase with controlled sulfidation state for consistent activity retention.

  5. Designed for easy handling and safe loading—non-pyrophoric and compliant with OSHA and GHS handling guidelines.

Typical Applications Of Clariant ReforMax 400 GG Catalyst

  1. Purification of chlorobenzene and dichlorobenzenes prior to downstream alkylation units.

  2. Hydrodechlorination of chlorinated solvents in pharmaceutical intermediate synthesis.

  3. Removal of trace chlorides from C4–C6 hydrocarbon feedstocks in catalytic reforming pretreatment.

  4. Stabilization of pyrolysis gasoline (pygas) by selective saturation of chlorinated impurities.

  5. Refining of bio-based feedstocks containing residual halogenated contaminants.

Clariant ReforMax 400 GG Catalyst – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of ReforMax 400 GG in polyolefin processing?

A: ReforMax 400 GG is a peroxide-based crosslinking catalyst designed to enhance melt strength and improve dimensional stability during extrusion and thermoforming of polypropylene and other polyolefins — particularly in applications requiring controlled rheology modification.


Q2: How does ReforMax 400 GG differ from conventional peroxide initiators?

A: Unlike standard peroxides, ReforMax 400 GG features a tailored decomposition profile optimized for narrow temperature windows typical in modern polyolefin extrusion lines. It offers improved handling stability and reduced volatility, supporting consistent performance under high-shear conditions.


Q3: Is ReforMax 400 GG compatible with common polyolefin stabilizer systems?

A: Yes — it is formulated to be compatible with widely used hindered phenol antioxidants and phosphite processing stabilizers. However, compatibility should always be verified in the final formulation due to potential interactions with certain metal-based additives or secondary antioxidants.


Q4: What are the recommended storage and handling precautions?

A: Store in original sealed packaging at temperatures below 25 °C, away from direct sunlight and sources of heat or ignition. Handle in well-ventilated areas using appropriate PPE; avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents or reducing substances. Shelf life is typically 12 months under recommended conditions.
