Clariant ReforMax 410 LDP Catalyst – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of ReforMax 410 LDP in polyolefin processing?

A: ReforMax 410 LDP is a low-dust, free-flowing peroxide-based catalyst designed to enable controlled rheology modification and molecular weight reduction in polypropylene and certain polyethylene grades during extrusion or compounding.

Q2: How does the LDP (Low-Dust Pellet) formulation improve handling and safety compared to conventional peroxide powders?

A: The LDP form minimizes airborne dust generation during dosing and mixing, reducing operator exposure risk and improving process consistency—especially in automated feeding systems—while maintaining thermal stability suitable for standard polyolefin processing temperatures.

Q3: Is ReforMax 410 LDP compatible with common polyolefin stabilizer packages?

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 specific metal soaps or secondary stabilizers.

Q4: What are typical dosage ranges for achieving target melt flow rate (MFR) increases in PP homopolymers?

A: Dosage is formulation- and equipment-dependent, but ReforMax 410 LDP is typically used at low concentrations—generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight—depending on the base resin’s initial MFR, desired final MFR, and processing conditions such as temperature and residence time.

Q5: Can ReforMax 410 LDP be used in food-contact or medical-grade polyolefin applications?

A: While the product is designed for high-purity polymer processing, regulatory compliance for food-contact or medical applications depends on full system evaluation—including final compound testing and adherence to applicable regional regulations. Customers must conduct their own suitability assessment and obtain required regulatory clearances.
