Clariant TONSIL CO 626G L Catalyst – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of TONSIL CO 626G L in polymer processing?

A: TONSIL CO 626G L is a highly active clay-based catalyst designed to promote controlled crosslinking and condensation reactions—particularly in silicone rubber and RTV formulations—enhancing cure speed, green strength development, and final mechanical performance.


Q2: Is TONSIL CO 626G L compatible with platinum-catalyzed silicone systems?

A: No—TONSIL CO 626G L is specifically formulated for tin- or titanium-catalyzed condensation-cure systems. It is not recommended for use in addition-cure (platinum-catalyzed) silicones, as it may interfere with catalyst activity or cause premature gelation.


Q3: How should TONSIL CO 626G L be incorporated into a formulation?

A: It is typically added during the high-shear mixing stage, after base polymer and fillers are homogenized. Pre-dispersion in a portion of the liquid phase or solvent helps ensure uniform distribution. Avoid prolonged high-temperature exposure prior to curing to preserve catalytic integrity.


Q4: Does TONSIL CO 626G L require activation or pre-treatment before use?

A: No—TONSIL CO 626G L is supplied in an optimally activated, ready-to-use form. It does not require calcination, drying, or chemical modification prior to incorporation, though storage under dry conditions is recommended to maintain reactivity.


Q5: Can TONSIL CO 626G L be used in food-contact or medical-grade silicone applications?

A: Its suitability for regulated applications depends on full system validation—including extractables testing and compliance with applicable regional requirements. Clariant provides documentation support, but end-use approval must be confirmed by the compounder in accordance with final product specifications and regulatory pathways.
