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

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

A: TONSIL CO 620G L is a highly active, low-ash clay-based catalyst designed to accelerate condensation reactions—particularly in silicone and polyurethane systems—by promoting efficient crosslinking and improving cure kinetics without excessive exotherm or premature gelation.


Q2: Is TONSIL CO 620G L compatible with food-contact or pharmaceutical-grade formulations?

A: While TONSIL CO 620G L is not pre-certified for direct food contact or pharmaceutical use, it may be considered for such applications where regulatory compliance is verified by the end-user through full formulation testing and adherence to relevant regional safety assessments.


Q3: How should TONSIL CO 620G L be incorporated into a resin system?

A: It is typically added during the mixing stage under moderate shear and elevated temperature, ensuring uniform dispersion. Pre-dilution in a compatible carrier solvent or base resin is recommended to avoid agglomeration and support consistent catalytic activity.


Q4: Does this catalyst require special storage or handling precautions?

A: Yes—store in a cool, dry place in original sealed packaging to prevent moisture uptake. Avoid exposure to high humidity or direct sunlight. Use appropriate PPE (gloves, eye protection) when handling powder form to minimize inhalation or skin contact.
