Clariant TONSIL CO 636G Catalyst – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of TONSIL CO 636G in polymer processing?

A: TONSIL CO 636G is a highly active clay-based catalyst designed to promote controlled crosslinking and condensation reactions—particularly in silicone and hybrid polymer systems—enhancing thermal stability, mechanical integrity, and cure efficiency without excessive volatility or residue formation.


Q2: Is TONSIL CO 636G compatible with food-contact or pharmaceutical-grade formulations?

A: While TONSIL CO 636G is not pre-qualified for direct food-contact or pharmaceutical use, it may be considered for certain non-migrating, high-purity applications where regulatory compliance is verified through full system testing and end-product validation by the formulator.


Q3: How should TONSIL CO 636G be incorporated into a formulation?

A: It is typically added during the high-shear mixing stage under inert or low-moisture conditions to ensure uniform dispersion. Pre-drying is recommended if ambient humidity is elevated, and compatibility with other additives should be confirmed via small-scale trials before full-scale implementation.


Q4: Does TONSIL CO 636G require activation or pre-treatment prior to use?

A: No thermal or chemical activation is required—TONSIL CO 636G is supplied in an optimally conditioned state for immediate use. However, storage in a cool, dry environment is advised to maintain catalytic consistency and prevent moisture uptake.


Q5: Can TONSIL CO 636G be used in solvent-free or high-solid-content systems?

A: Yes—it performs effectively in low-VOC and solvent-free formulations, including reactive hot-melt adhesives and high-solids coatings, where its high surface area and tailored acidity support efficient catalysis without compromising viscosity control or pot life.
