Deuteron MK-matting agents are suitable as exclusive matting agents for water-borne, solvent-borne and solvent-free systems, air-drying as well as stoving. They can also be used in printing inks, wood lacquers, UV-curing coatings, coil-coatings, lacquers on foils, aqueous wood- and furniture varnishes.

The finer types are suitable where particularly thin dry films are applied or where very smooth surfaces have to be realized. The combination with inorganic matting agents is possible and leads to improved mechanical resistances. Scratch resistance and resistance against polishing will be increased.

Deuteron MK matting agents are micro-ground resp. micronized powders. The fineness enables Deuteron MK-products to be used in a wide field of applications for producing satin-flat and satin-gloss coatings. The small binder demand of Deuteron MK only leads to a nonessential viscosity influence, which is important for UV-curing lacquers. Deuteron MK is resistant against solvents and chemicals which are customary in the paint industry. These products can also be used in exterior applications. Adjustments to specific requirements can easily be made due to the different particle sizes, available.

Deuteron ND 210 is a wetting agent with a cationic effect. It reduces the surface tension of organic solvents or binding agent solutions and thus supports the dispersion process, making it more cost-effective.

Deuteron ND 210 also allows a more economical use of pigments since both the hiding and the coloring powers largely depend on the dispersion conditions. The much-dreaded flooding and floating of pigments can be prevented with Deuteron ND 210.

Deuteron ND 210 is suitable for the production of pigmented coating materials based on oxidative and on physically drying binding agents. The wetting-promoting properties of Deuteron ND 210 are particularly advantageous for the production of highly filled systems, such as pigment paste. Likewise, the agent is also suitable for coating systems for which both of the above aspects are desirable.
