Rhenofit CF – Calcium Hydroxide Cross-Linking Activator for Fluoroelastomers | Lanxess

Rhenofit CF Calcium Hydroxide white powder crosslinking activator for fluoroelastomers
Product Overview

Rhenofit CF is a specially treated, finely divided calcium hydroxide supplied by Lanxess for use as a cross-linking activator in fluoroelastomer compounds. It is designed to activate the crosslinking process during rubber processing, particularly in fluoroelastomer systems where accelerators and crosslinking agents are incorporated into the polymer matrix.

The product supports controlled vulcanization and is commonly used in technical rubber articles exposed to elevated temperatures. Rhenofit CF is supplied as a white, odorless powder and is characterized by high hygroscopicity, requiring careful handling during compounding.

It is typically used in combination with magnesium oxide as part of a defined curing system. Due to its finely divided nature and reactivity, incorporation is recommended together with fillers or immediately thereafter to minimize moisture uptake.

Official technical and safety datasheets are available upon request.
