Deuteron® AP 348

Deuteron® AP 348 by Deuteron is a non-polar polyethylene wax. Has low viscosity of the fusion and good toughness in spite of the high hardness. Surfaces of powder coatings show a remarkable slip resistance. In some cases it has been noticed that the 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. Also reduces the gloss of the powder coatings. This results partly from incompatibility which is a typical property of waxes or similar compounds. Depending on the individual case the reduction in gloss can be an advantage or disadvantage. Deuteron® AP 348 dosage level should be between 0.5-1.0%.
