SCORCHGUARD O

Product Description

Scorchguard® O is a multifunctional vulcanization activator and acid acceptor designed for halogenated elastomers such as CR, CIIR, CSM, and CM. It consists of activated magnesium oxide and proprietary magnesium compounds, pre-dispersed in a convenient bar form using organic binders. The binder system protects MgO from moisture, preventing conversion to inactive Mg(OH)₂, and ensures consistent performance. Its formulation promotes fast, uniform dispersion and high processing safety for calendering, extrusion, and molding operations.

Scorchguard® O reduces mixing time and energy consumption, prevents sticking to mixing equipment, and maintains the physical properties of the compound. In combination with zinc oxide, Scorchguard® O provides excellent scorch protection and acid absorption.

THESE SPECIAL FEATURES MAKE SCORCHGUARD® O SO SUCCESSFUL

• Moisture protected - binder prevents MgO degradation

• Superior processing safety - ideal for CR, CSM, CM, CIIR compounds

• Reduced mixing time - lower energy consumption

• Non-sticking behavior keeps mixing equipment clean

• Excellent scorch protection especially in combination with ZnO

• Convenient bar form provides easy handling and uniform dispersion

THE MOST COMMON AREAS OF APPLICATION

• Extruded and injection-molded technical rubber goods

• CR-based adhesives and sealing systems

• Halogenated rubber compounds requiring acid absorption

• Applications demanding high scorch safety and processing reliability
