Clariant TONSIL CO 620G Catalyst – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of TONSIL CO 620G in polymer processing?

A: TONSIL CO 620G is a high-activity, surface-modified bentonite-based catalyst designed to promote controlled crosslinking and thermal stabilization in peroxide-cured elastomers and thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs), particularly enhancing scorch safety and cure efficiency.


Q2: Is TONSIL CO 620G compatible with common elastomer systems like EPDM, NR, or SBR?

A: Yes — it demonstrates broad compatibility with natural rubber (NR), synthetic rubbers such as EPDM and SBR, and select thermoplastic matrices used in dynamic vulcanization. Performance may vary depending on compound formulation and processing conditions, so laboratory evaluation is recommended for new applications.


Q3: How should TONSIL CO 620G be incorporated into a rubber compound?

A: It is typically added during the non-productive mixing stage, after polymer incorporation but before curatives. Good dispersion is essential — use standard internal mixers or two-roll mills under controlled temperature and shear conditions to avoid premature activation or agglomeration.


Q4: Does TONSIL CO 620G require special storage or handling precautions?

A: Store in a cool, dry place in original sealed packaging to prevent moisture uptake. While not classified as hazardous under GHS for transport, standard industrial hygiene practices apply — avoid inhalation of dust and use appropriate PPE during manual handling.
