Deuteron LE 292 is an anti-static additive based on a novel esterquat. It is available as a 90% solution in Isopropanol. In contrast to anti-static additives based on TAA salts. Deuteron LE 292 has a significantly lower toxicity and it’s active content is 100% biodegradable (according to OECD). The content of renewable raw materials is approx. 70%.

Compared to TAAS-based conductivity promoters, Deuteron LE 292 is not water soluble – this can prove advantageous in the case of wash-out effects.

Deuteron LE 292 can be used in polyurethane foams, casting resins, floor coatings or printing inks to impart anti-static effects.

Deuteron LE 829 is designed to be used as an antistatic agent for polyurethane compounds based on polyester and polyether. These compounds are used in the production of soles with antistatic character as required by EN 344 or for special shoes for use in computing and medical areas.

Deuteron LE 829 is of high polarity and thus noticeably reduces the electrical resistance of polyurethane-foams, even when used in small quantities.

Deuteron MM 677 can be used as a matting agent in various aqueous coating systems. These can be lacquers based on acrylic dispersion, wood glazings, wood- and fur­niture lacquers, printing inks and industrial finishes (air-drying and stoving enamels).In comparison with powdery matting agents Deuteron MM 677 particularly offers the advantage of dust-free handling. The product can be easily incorporated by all common dispersing processes. When producing clear varnish, only a small rate of shear is required to incorporate Deuteron MM 677. This prevents forming of micro foam in the production batch. Even when Deuteron MM 677 is added to the mill base or the dispersion-medium, overmilling is practically impossible due to its excellent shear stability.The matting liquid is kept free of wetting agent and binder. Their presence usually limits the compatibility. Waxes or similar products are not included either. This allows for the use of Deuteron MM 677 in a wide field of applications. Deuteron MM 677 causes little cloudiness and is therefore also suitable for the use in clear varnishes.

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.
