Packaging

Innovox OH is supplied in pre-weighed, low-melt (<80C) sachets (standard is 12 x 1kg sachets per poly-lined bag) or 12.5kg poly-lined bags. Other packaging is available on request.


Applications

Innovox OH is used as a cross-linking activator, particularly for fluoroelastomers that have to show optimal compression set at high temperatures. It is normally used in combination with a fine particle size magnesium oxide. As it is highly hygroscopic, weighing and incorporation into the compound should take place just prior to processing.
