Deuterol 201 E is a defoaming dispersing agent for fillers and pigments in water soluble and water miscible primers and lacquers. The wetting effect of Deuterol 201 E in primers and one-coat lacquers, which are applied to badly degreased metal substrates, considerably improves the adhesion of the coating film to the metal substrate. The product also shows a defoaming effect in the manufacture as well in the processing of water dilutable systems.

Deuteron ES 222 is a surface active additive. Its presence in a mixture of unsaturated polyester resin/reactive-solvent (styrene) helps in re­moving air-bubbles. This applies in particular after mixing resin and curing agent. Technologically useful is the improved wetting of the substrate, thus making it easier to release air bubbles from the substrate’s surface.

Because of the above mentioned properties Deuteron ES 222 is an effective wetting and air release agent in particular for laminating resins based on unsaturated polyester. The product is very suitable in laminating resins where excellent adhesion of polyester resins and glass fiber is required. Deuteron ES 222 is also very suitable as an air release agent in other systems based on unsaturated polyester resins.

Deuteron ES 224 is a surface active additive. Its presence in a mixture of unsaturated polyester resin/reactive-solvent (styrene) helps in re­moving air-bubbles (for instance when mixing resin and curing agent). It improves wetting of the substrate in systems containing extenders.

Because of the above mentioned properties Deuteron ES 224 is an excellent wetting and air release agent in particular for laminating resins based on unsaturated polyester. The product is very suitable in laminating resins where excellent adhesion of polyester resin and glass fiber is required. The product is particularly suitable for thixotropic systems since it has no impact on the rheology (thixotropy).

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.
