SCORCHGUARD O
Activator and acid acceptor for halogenated rubbers - delivers superior scorch protection and processing safety.
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
