NOFMER® MSD
About the Product
NOFMER® MSD is a multifunctional chemical product based on 2,4‑Diphenyl‑4‑methyl‑1‑pentene (CAS 6362‑80‑7). It is used as a chain transfer agent for styrene‑based polymer systems and as a crosslinking co‑agent and scorch retarder for LDPE crosslinking applications.
Compared with conventional mercaptan‑based chain transfer agents, NOFMER® MSD provides controlled molecular weight reduction, improved processability, and reduced odor while maintaining excellent performance in polymer manufacturing processes.
