Deuteron VT 910 is a natural biopolymer based on polysaccharides, with delayed hydration properties due to glyoxal surface treatment, making it easy to use and disperse. It provides strong structural viscosity that reduces under shear force and quickly returns to its base viscosity, helping prevent pigment settling and liquid separation during storage. Stable in anionic and non-ionic systems, Deuteron VT 910 works well across a wide temperature and pH range but may depolymerize at pH levels below 2 or above 12. It is compatible with most binders and thickeners used in the coatings industry.

DEUTERON LE 15P is a quaternary ammonium salt absorbed onto a SiO2 carrier. The product is a cationic surfactant and acts as an antistatic agent in various applications. Its main working mechanism is based on surface migration and orientation.

Deuteron AP 348 is designed for the use in powder coatings.

 

An important feature of Deuteron AP 348 is the low viscosity of the fusion. It is a non-polar polyethylene wax with good toughness in spite of the high hardness. Surfaces of powder coatings containing Deuteron AP 348 show a remarkable slip resistance. This effect is shown by only a few waxes.

 

In some cases it has been noticed that the presence of Deuteron AP 348 in powder coatings improves their flow. This depends on the low softening respective melting point of this polyethylene wax and its limited compatibility with the used resins.

Deuteron MM 823 has been developed for use in solvent-based and solvent-free, non-aqueous coating systems, printing inks and powder coatings. The presence of PTFE in Deuteron MM 823 generally spoils wetting when the product is used in water.

 

Deuteron MM 823 imparts coatings a high resistance to metal marking and abrasion. Scratch resistance will be improved. The product is non thermoplastic. Its use imparts good blocking stability. Increased dosage interferes with the coating‘s gloss.
