Because of its cationic character and the extreme polarity of Deuteron LE 80, the electric resistance of organic solvents and their mixtures is considerably reduced – even when using small quantities.

Deuteron LE 80 is soluble in all common lacquer solvent mixtures, sometimes being slightly cloudy.

Deuteron LE 80 can be used in air-drying primers and coatings, baking enamels, 2-compound systems and wood finishes.

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 MM 659 reduces the gloss in above mentioned coating systems. At a higher dosage the viscosity will only be slightly increased. Good flow and processibility remain and allow for all usual application processes.

Spoiling of the transparency in UV-curing lacquers is not possible due to the favorable composition of Deuteron MM 659. The obtained coating surfaces show excellent resistance regarding burnishing and mar resistance. The use of Deuteron MM 659 imparts coatings with a soft touch. In general, the additional use of waxes, PTFE or similar products is not necessary. A reaction between matting agent and lacquer system and therefore a spoiling of the storage stability has not been noticed.
