Q1: What is the primary function of TONSIL CO 616G in polymer processing?
A: TONSIL CO 616G is a highly active, acid-activated bentonite-based catalyst designed to promote crosslinking and condensation reactions—particularly in silicone rubber and RTV formulations—enhancing cure speed, green strength, and final mechanical properties.
Q2: Is TONSIL CO 616G compatible with platinum-catalyzed silicone systems?
A: No—TONSIL CO 616G is an acidic clay catalyst and is not recommended for use in platinum-cured (hydrosilylation) systems, as it may poison the platinum catalyst or cause premature gelation. It is best suited for tin-catalyzed or peroxide-initiated formulations.
Q3: How should TONSIL CO 616G be incorporated into a formulation?
A: It is typically added during the high-shear mixing stage, either pre-dispersed in a carrier fluid or blended directly into the base polymer. Good dispersion is essential to ensure uniform catalytic activity and avoid localized over-cure or surface defects.
Q4: Does TONSIL CO 616G require drying or thermal activation before use?
A: While not strictly required, pre-drying at moderate temperatures (e.g., 100–120 °C under vacuum) may improve consistency in moisture-sensitive applications, as residual water can interfere with condensation curing mechanisms.
