What is TAIC 50 & 70?

TAIC 50 and 70 are 50 % resp. 70 % preparations of triallylisocyanurate (TAIC) on extremely fine silica as carrier in powder form. TAIC can be recommended especially as co-activator for peroxide curing, when excellent physical properties are to be reached, especially very low compression-set values even after aging and under extreme conditions.

Can TAIC be used as a co-activator for peroxide curing?

TAIC can be recommended especially as co-activator for peroxide curing, when excellent physical properties are to be reached, especially very low compression-set values even after aging and under extreme conditions. Compatible Polymers & Resins: Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPM), Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM), Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA)

Can TAIC be used with other elastomers?

TAIC has proved to be effective within all kinds of different fluor elastomers, HNBR and EAM (VAMAC); it can also be used with other polymers such as EPDM/EPM, EVA etc. Due to the very low melting point of approximately 24 °C, the pure TAIC can have a solid/crystalline or even liquid form, depending on the room temperature.

What happens if TAIC is stored at a low temperature?

At low temperatures (below 10 °C) the product tends to crystallize, and, depending on the storage conditions (temperature and time), the state of aggregation of TAIC, especially TAIC 70, may change, which leads to caking of the powder. 3 years under suitable storage conditions.
