Deuteron MM 680 is primarily recommended for use in solvent-based 2-component systems (polyurethane or epoxy-resin lacquers). Beyond that, the product is also suitable for other air- and oven-drying systems.

Deuteron MM 680 is a mixture of finest-ground (micronized) materials that is well suited as a matting agent in paints and lacquers. Apart from the good matting effect, special importance is also attached to a low binder requirement in order not to affect the flow properties of the matted system considerably. This leads to a good formulation margin in the processing.

Deuteron MM 680 does not contain any wax additives, thus coating layers equipped with it are not expected to cause any adhesion problems in multi-layer systems or repair coatings.

Deuteron ND 953 helps to prevent the uncontrollable increase in viscosity which can arise in presence of certain pigments and fillers in heavily-filled aqueous systems. The required rheological properties of the paint or coating material can be obtained just through the character of the used binder or by addition of a suitable thickener.

The presence of Deuteron ND 953 improves the storage stability. Unwelcome thickening during storage will be avoided or limited.

Deuteron ND 953 is used in aqueous paints and coating materials, e.g. masonry paints, fillers, aqueous primers, water-based bituminous emulsions. The product is also suitable for use in water-based pigment preparations. It is most effective in presence of inorganic pigments and fillers.

The use of Deuteron OG 250 affects the surface characteristics of aqueous coating systems.

The low melting point of the used paraffine-wax reduces unwelcome high slipperiness of certain binders (dispersions). Because of this property the product is also suitable as an additive to produce water-based „soft-feeling-lacquers“. On the other hand the use of Deuteron OG 250 can increase the slipperiness of coatings, when the properties imparted by the used binder are not satisfactory.

Application
Aqueous finishing lacquers, packing lacquers, printing inks and aqueous wood stains. „Soft-feeling-lacquers“ for industrial application (combined with matting plastic Deuteron MK).
