Clariant TONSIL CO 610G Catalyst – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of TONSIL CO 610G in polymer processing?

A: TONSIL CO 610G is a high-activity, acid-treated bentonite-based catalyst designed to promote condensation reactions—particularly in silicone and polyurethane systems—by enhancing crosslinking efficiency and improving cure kinetics under ambient or mild thermal conditions.


Q2: Is TONSIL CO 610G compatible with moisture-cure silicone formulations?

A: Yes, it is specifically engineered for use in one-component moisture-curing silicones, where it accelerates the hydrolysis and condensation of alkoxysilane groups without inducing premature viscosity increase or compromising shelf life when properly formulated.


Q3: How should TONSIL CO 610G be incorporated into a formulation?

A: It is typically added during the dispersion or mixing stage under controlled shear and low-moisture conditions. Pre-drying of the catalyst is not required, but handling in a dry environment helps maintain consistent catalytic performance.


Q4: Does TONSIL CO 610G affect the final physical properties of cured elastomers?

A: When used at recommended dosages, it supports improved tensile strength and elongation retention in cured silicone elastomers, while maintaining good transparency and low extractables—contributing to stable mechanical and optical performance in end applications.


Q5: What storage conditions are recommended to preserve catalytic activity?

A: Store in original sealed packaging at room temperature in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid prolonged exposure to humidity or elevated temperatures, as these may gradually reduce reactivity over time.
