MAGOX® Magnesium Oxide Applications in Specific Polymers
Sheet and Bulk Molding Compound (SMC & BMC)
- Used to control viscosity in fiber-reinforced polyester compounds.
EVM Acetate - Ethylene co-vinyl acetate copolymers (LEVAPREN ®)
- Aids in the molding process.
Chorosulfonated Polyethylene – (Hypalon®)
- Acid acceptor and scavanger to neutralize acidic products and prevent corrosion of
ordinary mold steel.
- Used as a curing agent.
- Magnesia/Polyol – Colored compositions or where water resistance is not essential.
- Magnesia/Litharge – Maximum heat resistance.
Polychloroprene (CR) (Neoprene®)
- Scavenges ZnCl2 to prevent scorch during processing.
- Improved aging characteristics.
- Assists in the vulcanization of G type Neoprene®.
Fluoroelastomer (FKM) (Viton®, Tecnoflon®, Dyneon™)
Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE) (Tyrin®)
